Just In: Rivers APC Chairman Tony Okocha hands Governor Siminalayi Fubara the APC membership card at Government House, Port Harcourt

In a dramatic show of party symbolism, Rivers State APC chairman Tony Okocha presented the APC membership card to Governor Siminalayi Fubara during a meeting at Government House, Port Harcourt. The gesture comes amid heightened tension between the governor and the APC‑led faction, which has repeatedly labeled Fubara’s recent outreach to pro‑Wike lawmakers a “Greek gift” and issued a 48‑hour ultimatum for his resignation or impeachment .

Okocha’s move underscores the party’s attempt to assert its influence over the state’s political landscape, even as the governor faces mounting pressure from the APC and the Rivers State House of Assembly. The meeting, held behind closed doors, is being closely watched for any sign of a political reconciliation or further escalation.

Fubara is much smarter here. He's now the overall leader of APC in Rivers State.

Fubara is playing chess with Wike and his goons.

Tony Okocha sorry ooooo

Field Marshal Fubara of the Nato Headquarters. Firing from all cylinders at Wicked Wike, and Field Marshal Yerima of NATO Naval Headquarters firing Ballistic missile at Wicked Wike, Wike currently in the mud ooooooooo

Its officially official
Fubara is the leader of APC in Rivers now.. Wike and his cousin Amawuale or whatever he calls himself can jump into ocean of gnashing of teeth

Hehe when u join the cult. See who Nigerians were thinking has the interests of Rivers people smh. As far as Nigeria is concerned only Peter Obi i can trust for now

chaii see as person papa use tinubu logo design cloth

Wike may not like these defections - But I think that Fubara's decision to defect is to his advantage. He wants to know his "enemies" from within. Being on the other side wouldn't help his case. He is now the official leader of the APC in the state.

All hail the new APc leader in Rivers State..

Any other fool that thinks he's destabilizing his party to favour APc is doing himself

That's the only way to reduce Wike influence. I think he's not the that wants to reduce Wike influence, Someone bigger is through with Wike services.

OTILO!!!! Finally Fubara is gone......Pdp is a dying party.

So Fubara is still under the influence of Wike. Wike is strategic. He sees ahead.

Tony Okocha go later bow for Fubara.....Order from above(Presidency) senior order from FCT.....E be like Fubara go win the War, wike and his goons only won the fight

Fubara a wise man. Better decision. He tried to fight but those people pushing him were just online noise maker and they let him down when he needed them most, fake lovers. But as God would have it, he had another opportunity which is usually rare, so he grabbed it with sense and they are now calling him weak, fake people.

Something keeps telling me that Fubara and Tinubu will soon strike Wike and that garrulous speaker!

Better politics in Rivers state

In Nigeria,2026 will witness more interesting occurrences politically.

Rivers matter is getting confusing..

Tony Okocha is one of Wike's lapdogs.

Could it be that Tony Okocha was directed to do this by the National APC and the Presidency?

Wow! I can’t believe Atiku was able to convince Fubara to join ADC! That’s the second governor to join ADC in less than 2 weeks

Okocha is now a humble man

Dey play! Rivers is the only state that the governor is not the leader of the party.

Exclusive| How Fubara Outsmarted Wike, Lawmakers in Stunning Political Twist

Governor Siminalayi Joseph Fubara has successfully overturned what many insiders describe as one of the most elaborate impeachment traps in recent Nigerian politics.

With a surprise defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress on Tuesday evening, Fubara outpaced the plans of his political opponents and effectively neutralised their long orchestrated strategies to remove him from office.



Two days earlier, the governor had summoned an emergency stakeholders meeting at Government House, Port Harcourt, where he disclosed his intention to join the ruling APC.

The announcement came barely twenty four hours after he held a close door meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja, a meeting now understood to have produced the final agreement on his political realignment.



Before this dramatic turn, Speaker Martyns Amaewhule and sixteen other members of the Rivers State House of Assembly had announced their own defection to the APC. Their move triggered confusion across the state’s political space, leaving only ten PDP lawmakers standing, alongside three pro Fubara members who remained under suspension since the emergency rule.

The Southern Examiner investigations reveal that the lawmakers’ earlier decision to convert their legislative quarters into the Assembly’s permanent chamber was a strategic move designed to prepare the grounds for Fubara’s impeachment.



To actualise their plan, the lawmakers had rolled out a long list of allegations including claims of constitutional breaches, financial recklessness and obstruction of oversight functions.

They subsequently adjourned for the Christmas break with a resumption date of January sixteen, 2026, a timing crafted to ensure the governor failed to present the 2026 budget within the constitutionally required period. That failure, they believed, would trigger a fresh impeachment process in the new year.

According to inside sources, the plan had been perfected down to the role each actor would play. With alleged backing from the Rivers State chief judge, Justice Simeon Chibuzor Amadi, the lawmakers intended to remove Fubara swiftly, paving the way for Speaker Amaewhule, a first cousin to Nyesom Wike, to assume office as acting governor for three months.

After the acting period, Amaewhule would then contest the governorship election while still occupying the seat. Thr Southern Examiner also learnt that some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission had been quietly notified of the arrangement.

The plot was an extension of the earlier failed scheme which led President Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Rivers and appoint retired Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ekwe Ibas as sole administrator. That decision infuriated Wike, who publicly admitted that he never wanted emergency rule but had pushed for outright removal of the governor.

It was after learning of this renewed impeachment plan that Fubara hurriedly sought permission for the presidential visit on Monday evening. During the meeting, the final arrangements for his defection were sealed, putting him under the protection of the national leadership of the ruling party.



His remarks at the stakeholders meeting confirmed the central role the president played in his political survival. Fubara told the gathering that without God working through President Tinubu, he would have been recorded in history as a former governor already. His repeated calls for Rivers people to support his new political direction drew thunderous applause.

Analysts say Fubara’s switch to the APC places him within the same political fold as Amaewhule, the defected lawmakers and even Wike, who has long been juggling positions within both parties. With this alignment, the impeachment plot collapses entirely.

It is now expected that the twenty seven lawmakers will cut short their Christmas break for the governor to present the 2026 budget later this month, paving the way for approval in early January.

A high level reconciliation meeting between Wike, the governor and the lawmakers is being scheduled at the instance of President Tinubu to smoothen remaining tensions and ensure stability in the state.



Speaking earlier during the inauguration of the Ahoada Omoku road dualisation project, Fubara expressed frustration over failed efforts to meet with state lawmakers, even though he had already met with federal legislators. He said he had sought reconciliation through Wike and Chief Anabraba but all his overtures had been ignored.

With his defection now complete, observers believe Fubara has executed a decisive political move that not only preserves his mandate but also reconfigures the balance of power in Rivers State

Tinubu must have given Fubara this smart card he is currently playing... 🤣🤣🤣

Wike has been silent for days. I guess he's still recovering. Tinubu wants to tie his hands and discard him on or before 2027. Fubara was Wike’s negotiating terms and now that Tinubu and APC has captured him, Wike is now left with little or nothing. Soon, some Assembly Law makers will align with Fubara. More details unfolding. Make Amaewhule dey do like premature e*ac*la*ion, we dey look am. Him go tell us whether him office big pass the office of the Governor of Rivers State.

WIKE JUST DE MISFIRE AND MISCALCULATE

PROPHETmichael:
Dey play! Rivers is the only state that the governor is not the leader of the party.

Wike is in PDP party. Fubara is in APC party

Jungle done mature fubara take your 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I'm having this weird feeling that Tinubu will favour Fubara ahead of Wike as far as Rivers politics is concern. I'm feeling like both Fubara and Tinubu will hunt Wike and reduce his influence. As it is now, Fubara, as the governor of the state and in APC for that matter, he is more powerful than Wike right now. He has the presidency and APC in general as a backing . I dont think Wike will entirely be happy about this defection when he is even not an APC member ⁷
