This singular wrong act by the president, is the major cause of the coalition. His second term must be avoided if not that man will destroy the nation. He used Fubara as example to create fear among governors so they decamp.
Disaster awaits him at the polls. No single governor want him there by 2027.

You were not informed too
FYI, according to the actors, the coalition has been in the pipeline for 18 months now so how's that related to the Rivers issue.
Nairaland and orisirisi analysts

As much as i saw political blackmailing in what he did, His action actually halted a lot of crisis.

The Sim governor was clearly on his way to impeachment. How people refuse to see this intervention and even be grateful show the level of hypocrisy they have.

You have come again. You defend even that blatant illegality. It is well.

What else will you say when you are the sole beneficiary.

richmond500:
that move was to finally cage wike and he has achieved it.
Currently Wike has no relevance to Tinubu, he is just noise

He has turned Wike to an 'otikpu'/town crier. Never a time Wike has relevance, he only clinches to power through thuggery.

you are not serious
You’re saying exactly what you are hoping for

The president did what is right
He suspended the governor after they started bombing the pipeline

He can't even hide his happiness and gratitude to Tinubu, as he benefits from this

Rivers state’s money that is going into your wallets are timeless timely also.Welldone

obataokenwa:
So the president can't call the house to forget that plan. Instead he prefer to hand over the state resources to another man with a yoruba man as the leader of the senate assembly overseeing the affairs of the administrator abi.

When you become president, you can do your own this way. i speak facts, not conjectures.

PlanetZero:
He is the president and could have called them to order. You guys are just myopic. They only want to access river state treasury for a while

Called who to order? The only person that needed to be called to order, according to law, was Sim. The Supreme Court proved that. He was clearly not thinking but being pushed by a mob. Now, he seems to have seen better.

What is the president's business with if SIM is impeached?
Is the president going to sack the gov and legislature of all states where there's threat of impeachment? Impeachment is a constitutional provision in case you're not enlightened enough

You don't seem to think much. There was chaos in the air, and Fubara was threatening more. Like you probably figured out, Rivers State is an important state in Nigeria's economy. One man's folly was allowed for far too long and was stopped to avoid setting us all back by years. States like Lagos, Rivers, Oyo and the FCT affect the whole nation and budget/revenue plans. The constitution provision doesn't know that. If you feel aggrieved, go to court.

emirate9:
Can you save us the scrap sermon, IMPEACHMENT is not a Life sentence or Cancer or covid Tinubu is no hero
So many governors have being impeached in the past include a Peter Obi and none of the impeachment stood the test of trial, cos certain clauses must be met which clearly Wike FC dont have

Suspending Fubara was the surest and secure means to arm twist Fubara down for Wike, Tinubu took that decision to save Wike an immient defeat cos they know the "Impeachment" wont last, should Fubara win by court that's the end of Wike in Rivers ... but Tinubu need rivers vote & resources

You should be recommended to Fubara, you seem to know everything.

Sundaymessi:
The same president that reversed Obasa's sack from the Lagos 's state House of Assembly as a Speaker even when consistutional procedures were fully obeyed in his impeachment?
He rushed to save Fubara by declaring a state of emergency?
Some of you are just funny.
Anyway, what will l tell people who fully defended Buhari giving appointments to dead people while the living are left jobless?

The two aggrieved parties in Lagos listened to the president, big difference, maturity.
In Sim's case, he was deaf and very vocal.

DeepSight:
You have come again. You defend even that blatant illegality. It is well.

What do you think should have been a better solution? Recall that Sim wasn't listening or ready to follow whatever internal agreement he made. And he had a Supreme Court judgment hanging on his head.

obi4eze:
Liek Shettima said, the President has no power to remove an elected governor.

but ibas was suspended and not removed.
I think there's difference, and a president can constitutionally remove a governor by influencing the state house of assembly.

There was nothing like intervention to solve any political problems in Rivers State. Everything was scripted and acted by Wike Tinubu just played to his whims and caprices. The sole administrator saga was the brain child of Wike, the bad guy.

Oga, there is politics and there is law. If you want to argue that politically it was a good decision, that is a different discussion. As far as law is concerned, it was and remains completely unconstitutional and illegal.

Yes, it was the best decision to take politically. i see you didn't find a better solution. As for legality, we'll wait for the judiciary's take. The matter is in court, last i heard. But the executive and legislative didn't see anything wrong with it.

The court that has refused to even fix a hearing date after how long? Who is fooling who?

Please tell me, is there any difference between Tinubu and Jesus Christ in your view?

Tinubu is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Something is definitely wrong with some of you. So desecrating the Constitution and destroying our democracy in form of state capture is justified because Sim MAY have been impeached?

richmond500:
most of you can't just see it clearly.
Tinubu has been on SIMs side and has stripped Wikes power.
Today the only thing that Wike control is skeleton of PDP

Please keep quiet and stop being myopic. Do you have the understanding of the damage Tinubu did to this country by that terrible move?
And you spin it to mean he "has stripped Wikes power?"

The case is in court. i don't understand what you mean by desecration of constitution and destruction of democracy. Please be reasonable not obidient.

Of course it was timely.. hunger nearly finished you before u got the call to take the position abi.. now ur alright. You have started talking to media

Kukutente23:
It was illegal, anti- democratic and a travesty
Simply put, it was a coup and what Ibas is saying is exactly what beneficiaries of coup usually say in their speeches after toppling a democratic govt

Any sensible person knows this.

But empty headed fellows will be defending this terrible act in the name of petty sentiments.

God bless you!

I just hope they don't say something else when it happens to their person

Are you sure Tinubu is not the third member of the Holy Trinity and therefore God?
