There appears to be a let-up in the political crisis rocking Rivers State.

President Bola Tinubu last night met with the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and some leaders from the state in Aso Rock.

Though details of the meeting remain sketchy, a source informed The Nation that the embattled Governor Fubara followed Wike to his house in Guzape, Abuja, after the meeting.

AMINDA:
If Tinubu insists on Fubara, Wike will silently sponsor another candidate via NDP or any other vehicle while still pretending to support Tinubu.

AMINDA:
That's all he does, political meetings for 2027 while the country burns. If Tinubu is meeting Fubara with Wike at Aso Rock, then he's attempting to get Wike to soft pedal on Fubara while giving him a face to save by saying that Fubara begged Wike. What Tinubu fails to understand is that Wike needs to reclaim Rivers state for himself even more than he wants to be FCT Minister. He knows that anything less will mean he will continue to be at Tinubu's mercy. He also knows Tinubu will be dropping him as FCT Minister if he manages to win, regardless of the promises he makes to him now. If Tinubu insists on Fubara, Wike will silently sponsor another candidate via NDP or any other vehicle while still pretending to support Tinubu.

Tinubu is a manager of people , what PDP and its leaders could not do Tinubu is doing it. I hope he could manage Nigeria hand over to him at the end of his Tenue .

LegendHero:
Nice one President Tinubu.

Fubara is lucky we have a president that is swift. If the president do like it’s none of his business, Wike go don overrun him tey tey for Rivers and heaven will not fall.

Make them listen to wise council and stop all this fight fight fight.

ThiefnubuBandit:
Tinubu is a thief and a drug criminal.

LegendHero:
We all know those that are drug criminal in Nigeria. Their name don’t usually start with Tinubu

Tinubu has tried for all of them, particularly that very sneaky Fubara. If they cannot resolve their matter amicably, they should resort to the legal process. They are not the only state with a governor in Nigeria.

Fubara looks like the lastborn who will look for the trouble of their elder siblings and run back to daddy and mummy and start crying they want to beat me.

All other goverors in the nation live in peace with the HOA, if he cannot, then maybe he is not fit to be there.
I have never heard that he presented a budget to his HOA. Is that how to govern a state?

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.

richiemcgold:
I heard they ask him to prostrate to his oga and say sorry with a promise he won't offend him again, which he did

BondRiv:
Wike supports Tinubu, but has the right not to support Fubara because of his betrayal. Stop your mischievous attempt to conflate the two.

Lanretoye:
pBAT just Dey rescue fubara,he should have left the both of them

LagosOrigin:
How many meetings in this year alone ?

Tinubu is obviously not at peace with himself .

He's got the governors and senators all to himself but his mind no still rest. His scare for Peter Obi ever riding acceptance all around the country give tinubu sleepless nights

How can a president be this scared of just one man, Peter Obi, so much that he's been having marathon meetings upon meetings? Abi is the president in doubt of the loyalty of governors and ministers.
