Fubara don't give up easily, go to another party, I am sure Rivers people will vote you en masse just to spite Wike.

Say no to Godfatherism in River state.

Where is Obaseki politically today in Edo State?

This is what happens when you have foolish people pushing. He shouldn't have fought Wike. He should have focused on consolidating power forst before challenging Wike.

He may defect to NDC, his blood brother got the governorship ticket in NDC. Fubara knows what he's doing.
People like you still quote the old dishonest electoral law where people can jump to another party once they loss primary election or under going tbeir party disciplinary sanctions.

Peter Obi and co were crying up and down because the new electoral law condemns that kind of thing now but they claim it is because transmission of results live is not mandated even America does not transmit thrir results live despite the mail-in balloting they use.


So oga political commentator if Fubara goes to NDC he cannot contest there now because his name is not on the party register submitted by all parties to INEC since last week. Stay current oga grin

You think say na beans to become governor of rivers in the first place?

Where has your own bravery taken you to in life ? Kids throwing words up and down carelessly.

See someone that doesn’t even know about the new electoral act calling people cowards.

Re: Fubara Withdraws From APC Governorship Primary by franchasofficia: 4:00am On May 21
Nobody should blame Fubara, blame Tinubu.

Fubara had almost defeated Wike before Tinubu removed him with emergency rule.


In Nigeria, its not easy to fight with the President, a ruthless, shameless President ready to tumble in the mud just to win political battles.


Tinubu defeated Fubara not Wike.


What Fubara and other aggrieved APC big wig politicians should do now is to silently fight back by making sure Tinubu doesn't win 2027 Presidential election so that they can take their own pound of flesh on him secretly.


Fubara should back an opposition candidate in all Rivers State election secretly and make sure APC doesn't win.



But unfortunately, Tinubu uses both spiritual spell and federal government institutions to fight, all these APC losers will still be deceived with a promise of political appointment on the condition that they must help APC and Tinubu rig and win in their respective states, constituencies and wards, and they will foolishly agree.



They failed to learn from all former loyal Tinubu's political stooges and allies like:

Fashola
Aregbesola
Ambode
El Rufai that helped Tinubu win 2023
Kashim Shettima the Vice President
Nuhu Ribadu who has been sidelined silently
Sanwo-Olu who is like a cow waiting for his slaughter day cheesy
etc, etc



Tinubu that is a master in use-and-dump. He only keeps you if you have his dirty boxers with you like Wike and few others.



Una eyes go open wider should you guys sleep and Tinubu succeeds in rigging himself back into office in 2027. Many Nigerians go run comot for Nigeria

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.
There is absolutely nothing he can do at this point. He is powerless now. He miscalculated by decamping to APC. Now I see why Wike has refused to leave pdp to officially join APC.

You see your brain. U don't even know about Electoral laws.
Nobody can defect any more . That window has closed.
You must be one of Obidients because they just shout and insult people on the internet. They know nothing.
Stop disgracing yourself trying to act smart whereas you're as empty as the person you have been trying hard to provoke.

He can defect to another political party, if he wants. The new electoral law does not prohibit him, or anyone else from defecting after the political parties have submitted their membership register to INEC as you have been parroting. He, however, cannot contest for an elective position under the current election circle should he defects now, according to the new electoral law.

why are you disturbed about his decision?
Do you think he doesn't want the position more than anyone in Rivers State?
Wike have the backing of Federal might.
And forces against Fubara will not allow him to win.
You don't challenge the Power that brought you to power and go Scott free.

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 ..
God bless you my brother. This is the Absolute truth. It is when a goat dares to fight a lion, it's not boldness, it's foolishness. It's unfortunate, but a day of reckoning is coming for APC.

not only that, he should learn from Obaseki
Federal might was on Obaseki's side back then but the opposite is the case with Fubara now. So Obaseki's survival back then was not by his own personal power or smartness.

In your mind! No room for any defection again as they've submitted their party register to INEC so it's not possible for any politicians to decamp. The new electoral law has put an end to defection after failed primaries as it's used to be in the past.

he's a clueless coward. You decamp to APC and still want to fight. Na mumu he be.
APC saved him from impeachment. The real snag is his inability to break a deal with majority assembly members when he had the fund. Tinubu was initially unsure who to side. He was pro Fubara but discovered Wike controlled the grassroots. That's reason for sacrificing Fubara.

Re: Fubara Withdraws From APC Governorship Primary by bobofellaini(m): 6:09am On May 21
Wike is ahead of him in all these your supposed permutations. You don't just bite the finger that fed or feeds you. If he knew he had integrity at the first instance, he wouldn't have gone with private terms and conditions he had with Wike and taking back door to fight his godfather.
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!
