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

MyExpression:
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.

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!

It is really pathetic especially when people keep glorifying it as if it is something to be proud of.

Later, same people will be comparing Nigeria with saner climes.

How will the desired development come when we the masses deliberately propagating Godfatherism.

Politicstoday:
not only that, he should learn from Obaseki

Omenlon:
abeg, leave Rivers people out of this. Who break e head for politicians matter make e go break e head alone after all, when their going was good did they involve Rivers people?

Charbliss90:
State security? Una funny o, when state don't have power to have their security apparatus? This your type of politics can only be played on video game 😂 this is the same way you people pushed the man to his present problems

Politicstoday:
he's shaming people by so cold in fighting the war. Fubara only gave emperor Wike much power to strong niii.

seunmsg:
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.

ericmor:
As you can now see, he has picked up a ticket in NDC which is the best move because he can’t succeed under APC. Do u now agree he is smarter than ambode and Desmond

Charbliss90:
So when he Fubara enjoyed godfatherism to be a governor you people didn't remember that he wasn't qualified but because Wike deal with you people you are seeing Fubara as angel abi?

Politicstoday:
na big fat lie, buhari oppressed governors. There are series of incumbent senators and house of reps including state house of Assembly members that never return in APC. Why can't Tinubu return them with their powers.

Saladdin:
Who said anything about creating a full-blown state security outfit? You have probably not grasped how that game should have been played. This is why governors ought to surround themselves with technocrats and intelligent people, and not use all political positions as a form of compensation.

The law does not stop any governor from creating pseudo-security organizations like; Vigilante groups, Amotekun, Forest Guards etc. What Fubara could have done was create one and call it something like Rivers Neighbourhood Community Watch. He should remove triggering words like Security, Police, Crime, Corps etc. from the name.

Once done he should make it known that they are meant to improve stability in their communities and assist the police, yes assist. Then he can explore every type of arms and security tools permitted at state level. Allow the NPF, NSCDC, NA etc to train them. In fact he should go above and beyond by sponsoring them outside for “training” and heavily invest in PR and make it known that they exist to foster peace.

Thereafter, he should make sure that these ones become present in every single state event and functions, station them in State schools, agencies and institutions. Then he should follow it up with an Executive Order that people seeking jobs and similar intent from the Rivers State Government have to obtain a clearance form from this outfit that would now have branches all over the state. This will increase their relevance and recognition. Then most importantly he should deploy them to polling booths in the recently concluded LG Elections, and he’ll have crystalized one of their functions in the mind of the people.

But all these I guess is Astrophysics right?

3kay945:
So because bad precedence has occurred, we should continue just because it was successful before? According to your logic!

When do you guys want this country to grow and compete with other functioning society.

When pls?

Charbliss90:
Where was your voice about growth when he was chosen to be the governor? Do not bite the finger that fed you
