People didn't really understand what Wike was about to do. Imagine saying there is no APC in Rivers state, it is renewed hope party & the president is APC? That is very rebellious & to think he is among the president cabinet members?
Wike will accept his fate by fire by force

Tinubu should be careful of Fubara. If he can betray Wike who made him governor, then there’s nobody he can’t throw under the bus

Anything Wike did for Tinubu was because of his office as a governor. Fubara is the governor now, anything a governor can do, he will do it too. You guys were jokers to think APC will sacrifice a governor that has access to funds & logistics necessary to run an election for Wike an appointee. Who does that?
We shall see. Fubara that is breaking laws every second. A clueless neophyte. Tinubu is gambling. Did APC make Fubara the governor? Only one defeat and APC is over. Far weaker than the PDP from my analysis. Begging and strong-arming governors to join their party. How certain are they that those entering their party will work for Tinubu? Look at how he interfered in Lagos regarding Obasa. Hypocritical lot. Even the government is full of incompetent people, except a few. Rivers people will play their politics, any interloper who puts his hands will get burnt.

Fubara should thread softly as the Supreme Court is waiting for him .

Remember, Fubara hasn't implemented the last Supreme court orders so if je should go back, on any matter, they will show him pepper.

Above all, I'm for Fubara as well as I'm for Wike.
People who makes this statement always ends up being a hypocrite. For example Buhari.

You can never be for two people who are having issues because one is wrong and another is right.

It's either you are for Fubara or Wike and how I'm looking at you, you are for Wike.

Please stop this hypocritical attitude.

Anyanwu sacked, Tinubu backs Fubara, chief judge rejects letter, Wike 7-0 down

The signs are telling on the FCT minister. Do they need a soothe Sayer to tell them that their political empire is crumbling?

This week has been one of the worst weeks in Wike's political career. The ship is sinking for the good of everyone.

I remember all the boastings that the FCT minister made during his 17 days thank you visit to all 23 LGAs, one of the boastings was indirectly against Mr president

The FCT minister boasted and said: "I hear that some people are saying they will call me and tell me what to do. Nobody will call me, Rivers State is a no go area "

But today now how market?

Now many senior APC officials found that statement too authoritive for an appointee to make and boast in that manner, that even the president who appointed him cannot call him concerning Rivers State. Haba na

Well as we speak, president Tinubu has even done worse than privately calling the FCT minister to order, he has publicly backed gov Fubara as the leader of the state, indirectly drawing a red line for the FCT minister that look "you can't mess around with the leader of APC in Rivers State, you are not in APC so don't dare

This is coming immediately after the chief judge rejected the letter on gross misconduct from the Rivers assembly, that he cannot act against the existing court injunction

And also coming after his strongest political ally Samuel Anyanwu was dismissed from the court as the PDP national secretary

All these things happening just within a week

And more will likely follow, especially the appeal that has been filed by Mr speaker against the high court injunction placed on the impeachment proceedings will likely fail, the court will likely throw out the matter for lack of merit

So the ball is now in the court of the FCT minister, he has no option than to obey President Tinubu's message by withdrawing all his ongoing moves against the governor.

Especially for the appeal filed by Mr Speaker, If they are not eaten up by desperation, then they should respect the body language and position of Mr President and withdraw that appeal and end their illegal impeachement proceedinds once and for all

But if they fail to stop then what Tinubu will do to their career is too heavy for my tongue to say, it will come like a suinami on them

Let me see the impact Bwala will add to Tinubu's re-election. They should keep basking in this euphoria. Once Tinubu loses the election, Bwala will be the first to vanish. Also, nobody is holding the governor. He is violating the constitution and getting the consequences. The governor is only the head of the executive branch, we have three branches of government.
😂 😂
So wike is now working hard against Tinubu reelection

Wonders shall never end

So u all now want Tinubu out 😂😂😂😂

Wike should resign

Other Governors and Tinubu have not implemented Supreme court orders on local government having a separate allocation account

President said Fubara should be allowed to govern Rivers State! I told your colleague the last time it will only take Tinubu few seconds to reduce Wike to nothing. Wike wey Lt. Yerima stopped from accessing a land, naim wan rub shoulders with president? Commander in Chief? I laugh...

YOU ARE NOT FROM THE DOT STATE. YOUR WISDOM IS TOPNOTCH. THIS IS WHAT I AM TELLING THOSE JUBILATING. THOSE HANDLING FUBARA SHOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY TO APPROACH THE HOUSE TO PASS THE BUDGET FOR HIM. FUBARA NOT BEING SMART WOULD HAVE REQUESTED FOR THIS DURING THE LAST PEACE SETTLEMENT.
Re: Rivers: Court Adjourns Fubara’s Impeachment Challenge Indefinitely by okoloto: 5:41pm On Jan 23
This case may drag until after 2027, before then fubara first tenure has ended and APC has made it clear that he is the head of APC in rivers and so may win his second tenure and some members of the house may not return.
He will make sure none of them contests under APC. The battle has just started because wike nobi person wey dey back down.
He has the money and capacity to fight even if removed as a minister and he like Jagaban controls the court in Abuja. Fubara can only win cases in rivers but not Abuja grin

Wike should leave Fubara alone. What's all this? Is Wike the only politician who installed a successor? His greed for power is too dangerous for Nigeria's democracy.
Rivers State belongs to all of us. We are not talking does not mean that all is fine. Fubara cant govern Rivers State like he is a monarch. Tell him to do what is right. If the House is against him let him avoid pitfalls. One of which is governing the state without a budget. No right thinking person will support this or keep quiet.
Re: Rivers: Court Adjourns Fubara’s Impeachment Challenge Indefinitely by OlujobaSamuel: 5:50pm On Jan 23
aworatak:
The problem with this scenario you painted is that even if the panel constituted by the CJ finds Fubara not guilty of gross misconduct, the house would still proceed with the impeachment. The reason is because the constitution is silent on this issue. Example is the case of Yahaya Bello and his then deputy Achuba where despite the report of the panel of enquiry absolving the then deputy governor Simon Achuba of gross misconduct, the house of assembly still proceeded with his impeachment.
It’s best the Cj doesn’t set up any panel.
No, the constitution isn't silent, the constitution actually mentioned if found guilty and the house adopts the report by ⅔ majority.
So the house can't discard the report of the panel then go ahead to impeach.

The constitution is not silent on this issue. The constitution clearly states that if the panel finds a governor not guilty, the impeachment process is terminated immediately and permanently, and no further action can be taken by the house. Section 188/189 of the constitution.

Tinubu must win

That's your view. I gave an analysis. The manner in which Tinubu is playing his politics will decide his fate. There are a lot of emotional, political lightweights influencing him, while there is a battle ahead which requires people with proven capacity and experience in the system by his side.

Just look at the element called Bwala advising Tinubu. Tomorrow, another nonentity will speak regarding an election they won't participate in and issues that do not concern them.

Picture this; People are with you. The only thing they said is that a particular person must go. There are political and constitutional reasons backing their decision. Yet you are playing rubbish politics. We shall see how it unfolds. You don't go about jeopardising your ally's interest.

You're talking like we have a free and fair justice system in the same courts. These courts are controlled by someone obviously. The president is obviously on the side of fubara from recent happenings. These courts would not want to side with wike against the wishes of the president who can remove them whether scrupulously or unscrupulously. The case of Buhari removing justice onoghen comes to mind

The matter is before the Court of Appeal. This despot called Fubara has stalled governance with his disregard for the constitution. The Assembly will continue to perform their constitutional duties. A governor can't govern without the Assembly. The constitution is what is caging Fubara and no one else. The rule of law must be obeyed.
What law have they passed since 2023

Validated:
The impeachment is DEAD. Even if the Supreme Court gives the CJ go ahead, he will just select 7 people that are in support of Fubara. Those ones will just seat and tell the Assembly that they did not find the governor guilty. That is the end of the road. The boldness Fubara has now is because the CJ is on his side. Infact Fubara will sekect the 7 man panel himself and ask the Commissioner for Justice to write their report.
