Fubara Withdraws From APC Governorship Primary by InfoGuru118(op): 9:41pm On May 20
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has announced his withdrawal from the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election in the state.

Fubara made this known in a statement personally signed on Wednesday, saying he would support whoever emerges as the party’s candidate.

“After deep reflection and extensive consultations with my family, friends, and associates, I have taken the difficult but necessary decision to withdraw from the APC governorship primaries. I do so with a full heart and with a firm commitment to support whoever emerges as the candidate of our great party,” Fubara said.

He may defect to NDC, his blood brother got the governorship ticket in NDC. Fubara knows what he's doing.

He should have come and learn from the Benue State Governor how the game is played

This is unfortunate if true. But then, it is politics and shit happens. Four years as governor is no mean achievement. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Yall are quick to blame fubara ! You see 34 governors aligned with tinubu by force and you want fubara only to fight tinubu . We all know why tinubu can’t betray wike ! E easy make person help you rig election make you run abandon am ?

Have you seen any governor successfully fight tinubu . Even abia and anambra governor who didn’t join apc are busy shouting his mandate they shall stand ! Ask urself why ?
So you want the man to forcefully fight tinubu alone
Seeing how tinubu locked up his old ally Elrufai like a goat .
Now imagine what tinubu will use to fight fubara .. .

You can see how many law makers and ministers, deputy gov , govs , lost election bid for house and senate . Give the man a break !
Let fubara rest pls ! He has tried ..

I’m disappointed in Fubara for withdrawing from the Rivers APC governorship primary.

He should have considered his followers and the development of Rivers State. Why make a decision that will destroy the destinies of the people who stood by you?

If you weren’t ready to defend the people who risked their lives for you, you shouldn’t have started the fight in the first place.

What now happened to people who risked their lives for you ?

Why the abandoning campaigners, ward coordinators, and grassroots members who invested time, money, and reputation with nothing to show for it.

At this stage, please kindly resign

I’m really disappointed.

A Bini man does not deny your capacity to kill him, he only promises to kill you too.

Re: Fubara Withdraws From APC Governorship Primary by Wizardslayer: 10:08pm On May 20
These man was forced into politics against his wish. grin grin

He doesn't have the balls to play the game, he's a weakling.
Re: Fubara Withdraws From APC Governorship Primary by Saladdin:
His political career is completely finished. Na true SIMP this man be. This is what indecision cost him. He had two options: fight to the finish or quietly do your "yes sir, yes sir" and complete your eight years. Political fights are all or nothing, you don't do half-measure.

Duncan Mighty's music career too is gone. He should forget any singing gig from the state government again. Doing useless praise singing for a weak man. You see how Wike pampers his praise singers, they most likely even followed him to Abuja singing Nye demba, Nye demba for him.

If you wanted to fight your godfather (which was a bad decision anyway), you ought to have gone for the jugular, but you went halfway and backtracked. A very foolish move!

That was weakness and Wike smelt it. Dem no dey use clear eyes fight for village square. Wike is a very formidable and powerful politician & godfather with a well-oiled machinery that can easily bring down this governor. He knows where and how to pull the strings. When Fubara knows he can't fight, he ought to have piped low, because those elders who crafted the quote that when you dine with the devil, you use a long spoon. They came to that painful realization after lots of hard knocks.

On the other hand, you Fubara had one of the largest and deepest war chest in Nigeria. For God's sake, only Lagos, Delta and maybe Kano comes close to what this man has when it comes to state fund. This singular reason plus Wike's ruthlessness gained the president's respect. Tinubu himself respects a ruthless person who is not afraid of showing it at any time.

You could have used that to compensate for your weaknesses and let money FLOW to the right places, surgically dismantle the machinery as swiftly as possible. And had he fought bravely, he clearly had the people's support and wherever he goes most Riverians will follow.

Create a state security apparatus, let the commanders be loyal to you and when election comes, release one long press statement on how those state-security officials need to be present in every polling unit. Then you buy permissible arms, tasers and handcuffs for them. FUND them well, cover every inch of the state that day, switch off your phone while the security outfit do their job. Then give a prior public announcement and firm instruction that whoever engages in malpractice would be arrested, locked up and tried. Then you clearly demonstrate it with the LG election. LOCK THEM UP and follow it up with a speedy court trial. The rest will be very scared to engage in any malpractice.

Follow this up by lobbying to get officials from two or three major countries to specifically come to Rivers to monitor the election! While at this, ensure you pay for sufficient media time in international broadcasting stations let it be aired, and make sure all your ex-Oga's shady files are with you, and have CC'ed the right quarters with copies of it.

While you do this, move to another party, fund it, sponsor candidates and make a public example of few people who fall out of line, then you would see as others will fall in line.

Then even if Wike won, with a big IF, it would have be a pyrrhic victory for him. But as it is now, the Emperor of Rivers has won and he will so deal with you on all fronts. Be grateful if you don't do jail time!
Re: Fubara Withdraws From APC Governorship Primary by MyExpression(m):
Wike has ruthlessly dealt with Fubara's disloyalty.

This new law might stabilize our politics, but it will lead to party godfatherism.

—what will a sitting governor who lost return ticket do with the remaining time in office- with full executive authority?

You've made him ticketless and by the new electoral law, transfer window is closed.

Fubara will loot River state silly - as his last act of power, to secure his personal future.
