The Rivers State APC House of Assembly Screening Committee chaired by Hon. Muraina Ajibola has recommended the disqualification of 65 aspirants loyal to Governor Fubara and Tonye Cole, and the clearance of 33 aspirants loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to participate in the party’s primaries.

The 65 aspirants were disqualified for the following reasons:

1. Inducement and attempted bribery of committee members
2. Submission of unsworn affidavits
3. Failure to present voter cards
4. Failure to present party membership slips or cards
5. Conflicting dates of birth
6. Failure to confirm payment of membership dues by nominators
7. Irregular party membership numbers of nominators
8. Inconsistencies in names appearing on submitted documents
9. Insufficient nominators with required numbers that fall short of three nominators per ward
10. Invalid affidavits that failed to disclose material particulars relating to NECO certificates

Dear Governor Sim Fubara,

The editorial stance of Arise News is for you to assert yourself as Governor of Rivers State.

Note that Arise News is anti-Wike and will support and promote every controversy that would undermine Wike.

For many weeks, the Arise Morning Show, especially Rufai Oseni, have been baying for blood in Rivers State. They have been beating the drums of war as if to conflagrate the crises in Rivers State. He has done it again this morning on their show by asking you to tell us what you have up your sleeves. As a political tactician, you do not disclose your strategy, and do not fall for that bait to talk to amplify the crisis.

Governor Sim Fubara, do not allow Rufai Oseni mislead you to fight Wike. If you fight Wike, it is Rivers people who would suffer and your administration would not have a headway while Rufai Oseni and Arise News gloats for scoring a cheap point against Nyesom Wike. You seem like a man who doesn't want trouble. Stay on that lane. Learn to manage Wike and work to deliver for Rivers people. Avoid naysayers like Arise News, Dele Momodu and other emergency friends who were not there with you when Wike was slaving for your election. They did not support Wike then and by extension, could not have supported you. Their sudden support for you now and beating the drums of war is suspicious. They cannot claim to know the relationship between you and Wike better than the two of you. You know how you and Nyesom Wike started. Maintain a good relationship with him. You don't need to fight like a rabid dog to assert yourself as a governor, because you do not need to prove that you are a governor. You are the governor. Those of us who want peace in Rivers State do not see you as a weakling.

Please also ask your appointees to refrain from granting press interviews to discuss the crises. If they must grant press interviews, let them promote your agenda and talk about your projects for the Rivers people. That is how you win fights.

PLEASE avoid Rufai Oseni's tantrums. He benefits from controversies.

Do not allow him or Arise News mislead you. If they were so good with PR, how come their PR stunts could not help Atiku Abubakar win elections and save Godwin Emefiele? Anyone who encourages you to fight Wike and put Rivers State in the news for wrong reasons doesn't like you and want you to fail to prove their influence over you.

Do not fall for it.
