National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, says the ruling party is not under the control of any governor.

According to the chairman, governors do not have ultimate control over the party as decisions are often made at the national level.

“Across the country, nobody can take any section of the party. For anything you are going to do at the state level, it is planned at the National level. It is not planned at the state level. This is the APC structure and that is how we work.

“We work with structure. We don’t work with sentiments and emotions. Nobody has control over the party, even myself. No local government chairman has control over APC. No governor has control over APC. No senator or individual has control over APC, “ the chairman said.

Nentawe further said to avoid unnecessary crisis, they avoided forming a board of trustees in the party.

He emphasized that “that was why APC doesn’t have a board of trustees. APC is owned by the people. People are the trustees of APC. Unlike other political parties where you have some people controlling and having structures of the party in their hands. As a party chairman, there is no board of trustees supervising me. I supervise myself.”

If Fubara is not calculating, he will loose it. Wike already has the LGA chairmen who controls the LGAs and also has the house of assembly members too. This is what I call 2/0 in favor of Wike.

Fubara will now have to appoint commissioners who are politically heavy weights in those LGAs and use them to checkmate the activities of the chairman and house members.

He should also appoint LGA liaison officers like Obaseki did, give them offices and give them powers to act as overiside chairmen but on political matters. These LGA LIAISON OFFICERS will be working with the commissioners to identify, plan, implement projects in their respective LGAs, they will be like eye of the governor in the LGAs but their main unofficial job functions is take over political structure from the LGAs chairmen and Assembly members .

This will bring the equation to 2/2. Balance but in a short time, the table will flipped out Wike because the assembly members may flip to Fubara if Wike can't guarantee their re-election.

It is in response to the ungrateful traitor who claimed he is APC 001 in Rivers.

Gradually, Tinubu is beginning to fold in favour of Wike, as predicted. Today, they claim governors are the leaders of the party in their states and the next day, claim governors have no control. They are simply laying the groundwork to justify the impending sacrifice of Fubara.

Fubara thinks he is wise.Unstable elements like him should stay in their previous party. I am glad APC is beginning to come to their sense.

Fubara comes across as a treacherous, weak, and sycophantic individual. There’s just something about him that reeks of deceit. With Wike, for all his antics, you at least know where you stand.

Fubara, on the other hand, seems like a fickle-minded opportunist, willing to do anything to cling to power. He plays the role of a sycophant to get what he wants, only to turn his back once his goals are met.

During the campaign, he trailed Wike like a puppet, only to betray him shortly after assuming power. He went as far as demolishing the House of Assembly building in his lust for control and is even suspected of being involved in pipeline sabotage to maintain his grip on power. Such desperation disqualifies him from public office and the responsibility of leadership.

Reports suggest that, for the sake of peace, he was advised to abandon his second-term ambition—and he agreed. He was seen following Wike around during his ordeal, seemingly compliant. He didn’t have to agree; he could have made his case right then to continue his term, but he chose to accept the terms presented.

Yet, the moment he returned to office, he suddenly had the "brilliant" idea to join the APC—not because the president compelled him, but because he sees it as a springboard to regain power. Once again, he’s playing the fool, pretending loyalty to the APC until he secures what he wants.

Personally, I neither like nor trust individuals like him. He isn’t the first governor to turn against his former benefactor, but he’s the only one who makes such a spectacle of it. Even now, the governors of Kaduna and Kano have parted ways with their benefactors, yet they handle it without the same drama.

The APC needs to tread carefully with someone like Fubara. He isn’t joining the party out of a commitment to good governance or loyalty to the APC. If anything, he has proven himself untrustworthy and lacking in wisdom, both in his actions and his timing. They should learn from their experience with Obaseki. Once treacherous, always treacherous.

If I had to choose between Wike and Fubara, I’d trust Wike—flaws and all—any day. At least with Wike, you know what you’re getting.
