Confusion In Fubara’s Camp As Wike’s Loyalists Clinch APC Bye-Election Tickets by Newsgeek24(op): 11:25pm On Jan 26
Loyalists of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, have clinched the tickets of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to contest the House of Assembly bye-elections scheduled for February 21, 2026.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, would on the said date conduct bye-elections to fill two vacant seats at the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The constituencies where the election would be held are Ahoada-East Local Government Area Constituency II and Khana LGA Constituency II.

While the lawmaker representing Khana Constituency II, Hon. Dunebari Loolo, had passed away some months back, the representative of Ahoada-East, Edison Ehie, resigned his position following the political crisis in the state.

The APC had conducted its congresses to elect delegates that would participate in the primaries held Monday and the process produced 5 delegates from each state.

The congresses held on Sunday at the two Constituencies were conducted by the Committees constituted by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC to conduct the delegate process.

But, Monday, the congress was held and monitored by the committee alongside INEC and security agencies.

However, it was reported that Hon. Napoleon Ukalikpe, a loyalist of the FCT minister, picked the flag of the party for Ahoada-East Constituency II, while Mrs. Bulabari Loolo, picked that of Khana Constituency II.

Bulabari is the wife of the late house member that was representing Khana Constituency II, Dunebari Loolo and was picked as settlement for the demise of her husband.

A source said that the development has sparked confusion in the camp of the Governor of the State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara.

While some allege that the governor was trading the interests of his loyalists, others say that Renewed Hope Agents working for the Minister outsmarted Fubara.

Fubara needs screwdriver. He needs to screw Wike and drive him out of Rivers State.

Good governance is the most important.

Fubara isnt a professional politician.

He has no support base or acolytes of his own.

He stood zero chances of becoming governor sans Wike in 2023

He wouldn't have even gotten the PDP ticket.

So this new development is not surprising.

One of the thing I hate about 9ja politics is the padi padi government we’ve been running all along.

Imagine someone been given ticket to contest solely to compensate her because of her husbands death?
This begs the question, when do we get it right as a nation?

Until we get our party politics right, we will continue to play round in circles and the people will lose.

With all the happenings in FCT strikes.... Fubara should be able to get his games active but as usual, he's what he is .... Wike remain his boss.

A taste of what is to come for Fubara the State Governor who has blatantly refused to govern in line with the Constitution of Nigeria. Fubara is not a democrat but a taciturn despot, dictator and tyrant who is in a continuing disobedience of Court Orders and refuses to be subject to be subject to the oversight of the Rivers State House of Assembly. He is proud, arrogant and one given to street manners of the quiet but sadistic sort. Take a look at his photographs of handshakes with people and it should soon be obvious that he lacks humility! Fubara gets friendly just to get by! He successfully fooled Wike!

Good governance is the most important.
Which is why Fubara is required by the Constitution of Nigeria to subject himself to the Rivers State House of Assembly by presenting the budget and list of Commissioners to the House who are the representatives of the people. In the alternative he should respond to the Allegations of gross misconduct made by the House who represent the people instead of running to the Court whose Orders he disobeys serially.
