What was the economic impact?
What will be the historical impact?
Who gained?


Does it worth repeating in the future?

Thanksgiving has been bastardized. We hold it for every mundabe thing.

Fubara will hold his own when he returns.
Re: Rivers Begins Transition To Democratic Governance by helinues: 7:54am On Sep 13, 2025
Fubara must have learned a lot from this
Re: Rivers Begins Transition To Democratic Governance by Cherrybae(f): 8:53am On Sep 13, 2025
The sole Administrator really performed well in terms on infrastructure, IGR , job creation and insecurity.

Rivers people will forever remain indebted to the SOLAD.

Civil servants in Rivers already making contributions to host a send forth party for the SOLAD.

We will greatly miss IBAS

Re: Rivers Begins Transition To Democratic Governance by Zionmdde: 9:10am On Sep 13, 2025
Democracy with the governor answering yes sir
Democracy indeed
Even fubara shouldn't have agreed to come back and become a servant

The damage being done to Democracy today will take decades to repair

Fubara head don come down, see where ugochinyere and Obidient noise-makers dragged him to. Can you mentioned any politician this mob supports that excelled? None. In politics, fights are strategic not noise-making. You play it like chess game. Hope he has learnt his lessons.

The sole administrator achieved in less than 6 months, what Fubara couldn't achieve in 18 Months. Kudos to the outgoing Administrator, you came, you saw and you conquered.

Now is left for Mr. Fubara to immediately defect to the APC so that the people of River State will continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy.

People like me say no to godfatherism and slavery. People like me Said governors should be left alone to discharge their duties

While people like you support slavery and godfatherism. Is it not shameful,

When will you declare a state of emergency in Osun state to force Adeleke to decamp to APC? The withholding of local government allocations does not seem to be doing the trick.

My support doesn't bend to trends
What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong

How shameful it is to support a human being pocketing a state. And the fact that these things are at the leadership of the country describes the dysfunctional state of the country

How can right decisions be sending others to oblivion?

Why are you guys always use antonyms of words when expressing yourself

In a dysfunctional country, the right decisions are prohibited. Nigeria being a dysfunctional country is an evidence that only the worst decisions are being supported. And people like you are at the forefront

I do hope all parties involved have learnt their lessons and allow peace to reign going forward.
God bless Rivers State and the good people of Rivers State.
Re: Rivers Begins Transition To Democratic Governance by Ofunaofu: 5:28pm On Sep 13, 2025
Tinubu, wike and their co travelers should spare us this nonsense. Restoring democracy in Rivers isn’t an achievement when it was deliberately undermined in the first place.
Re: Rivers Begins Transition To Democratic Governance by malali: 5:29pm On Sep 13, 2025
More like abolishing the coup de'tat and returning the mandate to the constitutional owner ?
Re: Rivers Begins Transition To Democratic Governance by tunjijones(m): 5:30pm On Sep 13, 2025
I am sure fubara is planning to fight back in 2027.

But someone shd tell him that he will still fail.

He who wants to dine with the devil shd use a long spoon. You know how wicked wike is and you went to dine with him.
Re: Rivers Begins Transition To Democratic Governance by Fekumzi123: 5:33pm On Sep 13, 2025

The truth is that Wike will still give him second term...he is the only that can respect Wike

Who conducted all the elections in 1099 during Abdusalam? Can we claim that Obasanjo's administration was illegitimate because the election that brought him in including all the senators and Governors in 1999 were conducted by the military? Is IBAS the state electoral commission chairman? Who conducted the freest and fairest election in Nigeria's history in 1993? Wasn't it the military? What about the election won by Shagari? Was Shagari Government illegitimate because General Obasanjo handed over power to him?
Please run now to Baci's jollof rice venue and take your own plate or wait till tomorrow to comment on the useless BBN program. This section is for matured minds

They never had a democratic government in the first place.

Which democratic nation unseats a democratically elected governor like it's military rule?
