Efulefu. After using all his energy to sing ' On your mandate'

Let him just go and open a cement shop he is not cut out for nigerian politics.

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

Wike and his boys will just impeach him immediately it's better he remain where he is and support his brother behind closed doors.

MadamVanessa:



So why was this clown decamped at first. He's the real loser

He was hobnobbing with Uzodimma but now Tinubu has told every governors " every aboki with his own kettle"

spencekat:
Better for him. No option for him.May be if Tinubu wins in 2027 ,he will make him a minister.

Minuscule is a better option.

phemmyjohnson:
What do you want the man to do ? The only reason Wike successfully fought Amaechi was because Jonathan didn’t back amaechi like how tinubu is backing Wike for helping him rig election in rivers that made him president .
Fubara made a big error ! You don’t fiight who president is directly backing . If not that , there’s no minister that can fight a governor .
Wike is just lucky .
Take Kano as a test drive and kaduna ! Why didn’t the governors over there get in problem when they went against their predecessors who put them there !
Didn’t the current governor betray elrufai
Didn’t the current Kano governor betray kwankaso.
Didn’t they Survive ?
They survived because their predecessors do not have a direct relationship with tinubu anymore.
That’s why !!!

you are correct to some extent, you can not ruled out the influence of the presidency from it, but you have to check the kaduna and kano example you gave, those governor still helped themselves by having holds on majority of their assembly members, unlike the case of furbara. You can fight naked, furbara played into the hands of wike and he is getting burnt. I don't know where he is getting his advice from, why starting a fight that you know you can't win. He was intoxicated with power and he is paying dearly for it, simple.

they no fit. Fubara has passed that level. Fubara men are still in the State house of Assembly

Kalulu44:
So does that mean Tinubu himself doesn't have a cockroach in his cupboard that can be exposed. Or all the governors are just weak men

Tinubu style of politics is authoritarian!
As a proclamation of him as the master political strategist , he expects every politician in the country to bow and obey .
That’s how he rules . He has single handedly picked a Candidate for all southwest governorship position even against predecessors will .
He picked Yari in Ogun state , even when gov abiodun don’t want yayi ..
he single handled picked hamzat in Lagos
Osun , ondo , oyo are all picked to his own preference …
That’s the politics we find ourselves today.
Democracy is far gone .
I don’t hate him !
But you see this country I’m sorry won’t get better…

Politicstoday:
not only that, he should learn from Obaseki

The stakes are far higher in rivers than in edo and benue states.

DrChukki:
Ijaw people are falling our hands in this country. That's how GEJ handed over to these m0nsters in power now after all of us have supported him.

Now Fubara is doing the same... After gaining massive organic support from the people.

Ijaw people, una strong but when it comes to using it to keep your rights, una go withdraw.

I'm not happy with this news. Seriously

First carry placard and go for demonstration. I don't know if some of you deliberately want to sound half-intelligent or what? What should the man do in such ugly situation he's foolishly put himself into?

INTEGRITYA1:
He have seen the handwritten so clearly.

Don’t outshine your Master.

Fayose warned him, he ignored all the warning.

"You will first see sign before you see wonders"

signs proceed wonders - Integrity, 2026

Incisive analysis!

Mrexcell:

Edo no Lagos defeat Obaseki. Fubara is very cold fighting his war. You bring the war to your enemies doorstep in Nigeria politics. You don't wait at all

Politicstoday:
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.

Ossai Ovie Success is now active on Nairaland

Politicstoday:
big fat lies here. He's decamping to NDC

Stop disgracing yourself here...go and read the new electoral law.

Freshtruth:
The only way now is for Mr briggs of NDC to step down for him

Not possible for now he is not a registered ndc member and all parties have already submitted their membership register to inec.

Omenlon:

So how do you think kaduna and Kano will have played out if elrufai and kwankaso are ministers in tinubu’s cabinet .
You think those governors will easily betray them ?
You think the house assembly members are loyal to those governors you mentioned by mistake ?
It’s cos they knew their predecessors have no say in the presidency ..
you think wike will have loyal assembly members if he’s not a minister or he’s nobody close to tinubu lol .. think again ??

Peacecore:

You are a lazy thinker . He can move to any party and contest too.

If a person withdraws from his party’s primary election (or leaves before emergence as candidate), the law does not expressly say “you can never join another party.”
PLACNG
But under the 2026 Act, parties must submit their membership register to INEC before primaries, and only eligible members in that process can be voted for under party nomination rules. That means moving late to another party may make lawful nomination difficult or impossible depending on timing and compliance.
Credit: PLACNG
So the practical answer is:
Yes, a politician may withdraw and contest under another party only if he legally qualifies under that new party’s nomination process and INEC requirements.

Hope for Fubara to move to any party of his choice to contest for governorship election.

Another mugu found.

bigpicture001:
The judiciary caused all this...if they don't damage the country the yeye learned ppl won't rest.


Ppl came to t.v to renounce their party ND even tear their party card...it was live in the t.v ,u went and changed it that it's not true they changed party....

That is where wike would have fallen flat


But judiciary is compromised!

unfortunately, you are the problem here not the judiciary. If you don't know something it's better you don't speak about it than displaying your ignorance in the public. Does tearing of party cards amount to defection?, there are laid down rules for defection in our constitution not mere verbal pronouncement in the public or on tv screens. Law is law, that is why most cases are dismissed due to technicalities.

Also like DSP Alamieyeseigha cheated his way through the Nigerian Air Force and was cashiered off only to loot Bayelsa State dry and ended up in woman wrapper after all the money he had looted made his belly swollen!

Fubara has been touched off, like Johnathan,like fubara, two ijaw weak men..

Saladdin:
His political career is completely finished. Na true SIMP this man be. This is what indecision cost him. He had to 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 us 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!

The House of Assembly would've impeached him

E for no withdraw make dem show am the deserved shege wey him wan see
He want to be clever by half.
Betrayal
Ingrate

They forwarded the change of party letter from their respective self to the speaker of Rivers HOA....it was read in the floor and adopted...

How does Akpabio do his..Mr corruption...u love corruption ND disorderliness so.much u hate a good Nigeria with passion

Originality007:
Oga if not Tinubu that remove him as a sitting governor, Ur wike would have humble by now

Abeg just shoosh, we've crossed that bridge a long time ago and Fubara had no cards to fight Wike- NONE!

People like you got Fubara here! How do you fight a man who has the state assembly willing to do his bidding. He was held by the jugular and his options were either "behave" or "be made to behave"!

If Tinubu had not removed him as sitting governor he would have been impeached! Simple.

He came. He saw. He was conquered!

Let him rest!

P.S: In life pick your battles well, no be everything be gragra!

Segzy19:
This one just allowed people to mislead him...
Mumu man! Where are the people spurring you on now?

Jake Epelle, Sara Igbe and Ankio Briggs dem dem!

stanluiz:
Very disappointing! Why did he now decamp to Apc and be singing " on your mandate we shall stand " knowing full well that he will not get the ticket for second tenure.

Trusting tinubu and withdrawing the lawsuit he files to those house of assembly members that decamp to Apc was his biggest mistake. Accepting tinubu peace deal seal his fate.

He should just kukuma resign as a governor. The humiliation is too much.

did he respected the agreement? Has he submitted 2026 budget to the house for consideration? What about the previous budget he was asked to re- submit did he do it? Online sympathisers failed him. When you think you are clever by half you get burnt in your craftingness.

malcom1X:
Do you also know that he's Wike's in law?

Little wonder was that nice to Fubara!

Don't mind them...one minute they are praising you and the next you become an abomination! The fight was unnecessary since you've chosen to dine with the devil in the first place!

Join NDC. Use Rivers Money fight Wike to stand still. Men dey creek, enter creek and empower boys that's same thing Wike did during time. Nobody go tell Wike to comot body. But fubara said no and chickened out like a weakling he is. Wike is vile because he has not met his match. Let it be an eye for an eye. May Fubara never happen to Rivers State again.

I know you are pained by this development, unfortunately, your emotions and ignorance are inconsequential. I know you loved good Nigeria more than the actors but you can as well throw your hat in the ring to go there and give us the good Nigeria you are advocating for, or are you too young to there?
