Nigeria’s political scene in Rivers State takes another dramatic turn as Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike arrives at Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s private residence in Port Harcourt with members of the Rainbow Coalition, including APC candidate Kingsley Chinda and Senator Magnus Abe. The four-hour closed-door meeting on Tuesday evening marks Wike’s first reported visit to Fubara’s private residence since their political fallout, with the gathering believed to focus on mending relations and building political strategies ahead of the 2027 elections in Rivers State. No official details emerge from the meeting, but the unusual gathering sparks mixed reactions online, with some seeing a possible political reconciliation while others question whether lasting peace can truly be achieved.

Fubara should just leave them to their fate. Fitst to bite no dey pain, na the revenge dey pain pass.
@Fubara be wise, demand clear recompense or leave them ALONE.

Fubara started a fight without calculations.

We wait to see fubara's reaction

Would he join wike or would he act as the spoiler serving wike iced cold revenge

Where is the hemlock . Give them

I guess fubara isn't a write off at the end. For Wike to visit is personal space then Fubara might just be cooking something.

Wike will be discarded if Tinubu manages to win the election. If Remi feels this strongly about the rainbow coalition, then it tells you all you need to know about what she thinks about Wike. Use-and-Dump merchants.

Remi tinubu just brutally crushed the crude hubris of wike and his rainbow coalition nuisance/shenanigans..

Without questioning, she got the guts to emphatically echo this for wike to hear, not the lily-livered cronies within the apc massaging his ego 😂 pic.twitter.com/ZSKQ4qzurV

It is only wise for Fubara to reconcile with his benefactor. Wike is far stronger than him.

Wike's chochocho overwiseness has boxed him into a corner yet again.

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

I thought Fubara doesn't ha e electorial value

Rainbow 🌈 settings done enter Nigerian politics adult Pampers go soon cost

Only a coward for many times.
Fugbara is a typical example.

Rubbish






Transport fare has increased everywhere in Nigeria.

Guess this was after Fubara sang the infamous on-your-mandate song like he will die?

It's like Wike and his people are on nairaland.

Someone here said it few days ago that Fubara might be planning something as he has been quiet lately.

Now they have gone to beg him.

Siminalayi Fubara


Our first ever Rivers State female governor

The comments about Fubara here are hilarious. Some people prefer delusions to reality. This is just the usual preparations for elections. Everyone is carried along. After all, Fubara said he was part of them. APC has no business winning any election in Nigeria.

As it happened in the past nah. Una go cry tire

Hemanwel:
There is no politician in Nigeria today that is as confused as Wike!

You claim to be in PDP but want to support an APC candidate to be president. Why not kukuma defect to the APC and protect its interest from top to bottom?

Small small, Wike madness don dey enter market like this oh, cos only a mentally unstable person can come up with this kind of arrangement.

He keeps on winning every time, while you keep on crying and weeping

Fubara, the woman wrapper outgoing governor being made to look important.

This is what Atiku failed to do in 2023 and lost woefully when he had another opportunity to easily be president after he messed up in 2003.

You eat the humble pie to fight for power, snatch and grab it before running to deliver governance outcomes promised.

I wonder if the consistent privatisation and deregulation advocate will break the jinx next year, to make life affordable again for us.

According to sources available to us that time, Obasanjo said he will do a single term but after that, he decided to go for second term. I was physically present at Rivers state Governor’s Lodge when the heat became too much and Obasanjo in the presence of all of us knelt down in front of Atiku begging him to allow him do a second term. I think that was how Atiku missed the opportunity by agreeing to Obasanjo’s plea. His thought was that at least, if Obasanjo completes his second term, he will hand over to him but you all know the story of Third Term Agenda and that was how they fell apart. Atiku had the best opportunity to become president in 2003 and lost it. He had the support of PDP governors then.

@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Around November 2002, 15 of the 21 Governors from the PDP including me, had an ad hoc meeting at my lodge in Abuja to decide who should be nominated by the Governors Committee for election by PDP as the presidential nominee for the 2003 Election.

The Governors Committee decided almost unanimously to get a new candidate instead of President Obasanjo as the Committee was of the view that because of his military background, he was intolerant of dissent and had displayed very dictatorial and vindictive tendencies against those he perceived to be independent-minded and disloyal to him.

Immediately after the Governors meeting, I led the delegation of Governors to meet the then PDP Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh, at his residence around 2 am.

As the leader of the delegation, I spoke and communicated the views of the Governors to the Chairman, which was that the Governors had decided not to support President Obasanjo as PDPs nominee for the 2003 General Election.

The party chairman tried to persuade us to review our decision but when he saw our resolve, he told us that he would inform the President. I was later informed by Chief Audu Ogbeh that after we left his house he put an urgent call to the President and informed him of our decision.

What then followed were intense consultations before the PDP annual convention which took place in January 2003. Two days before the party convention, the Governors had a breakfast meeting with President Obasanjo.

I recall that at that meeting, the then Vice President Alhaji Abubakar Atiku told the President in the presence of the Governors that he was known to be very dictatorial, vindictive and unforgiving. The President appealed to the Governors to support him and assured both the Governors and the party leadership that if he was allowed to continue for the second term, he would adopt a more democratic approach.

On the basis of the President's assurance, given at that breakfast meeting, I led the move for the Governors to support his presidential nomination for the second term. However, notwithstanding my support for President Obasanjo's nomination for a second term, the President after the nomination, acted very shabbily towards me.

When I met him soon after the convention, he told me that he had learned that I had put forward the view that he was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable. He then vowed that he was going to make sure that I was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable.

Atiku Camp - Visit Wikileaks and type the following in the search bar NIGERIA: DID VP ATIKU OUTFOX BABANGIDA AND OBASANJO DURING THE PDP CONVENTION?

According to Adesanya, Atiku met the governors the first day of the convention; they urged him to leave Obasanjo and seek the nomination himself. Atiku demurred; he also deflected the suggestion that he join Ekwueme. Finally, Atiku arranged a meeting between Obasanjo and the now irate governors. The governors railed that Obasanjo was hypocritically pursuing them for corruption, while turning a blind eye to corrupt politicians within his own Administration. Atiku supported the governor's position, telling Obasanjo that significant corruption was not the exclusive ambit of the governors and that serious transgressions occurred in the executive branch: he said it would be unjust to focus exclusively on gubernatorial excesses. Assuming the role of mediator, Atiku then asked both sides to affirm their mutual support and cease the antagonism being fueled by elements that wanted to destroy the PDP. The governors agreed to bury the hatchet, if Obasanjo would shelve the dossiers. Having demonstrated his influence with the governors, Atiku continued to play coy with Obasanjo.

In the end, Atiku extracted an extraordinary concession from the President. Obasanjo agreed to relinquish the entire domestic agenda to Atiku, including the appointment of key economic policy-makers. Since Obasanjo focused on the world arena during his first term and aspired for recognition as an international statesman, Atiku said that is where he would like Obasanjo's attentions to remain. Obasanjo would serve the role of a "super Foreign Minister" and ceremonial Head of State. As Adesanya understood the agreement, Atiku would be allowed to direct domestic economic policy while Obasanjo busied himself with debt relief, NEPAD, conflict resolution and other measures to shore up Nigeria's image abroad.

OBJ camp - visit Wikileaks and type the following in the search bar NIGERIA: DIFFERENT INSIDER VIEWS ON THE PDP CONVENTION

The President was dazed, Abayomi recalled. Jarred by the unexpected possibility of defeat, the usually know-it-all Obasanjo eagerly solicited counsel on how to escape the closing vise. Early that day, the dominant theme was to seek a court injunction postponing the convention. Proponents suggested the delay to afford Obasanjo time to marshal support and undermine Ekwueme's momentum. However, this idea was ultimately discarded, partially because of apprehension over the public's reaction. More importantly, the push for an injunction became less urgent when the President's advisors began to sense their man was regaining ground by the hour.

The President owed much of his recovery to his own tenacity and, at times, shamelessness. He pulled out virtually all the stops to clinch the nomination, according to Abayomi. For most of that day, the President's diet consisted of liberal portions of humble pie. The President pleaded and cajoled; on at least two occasions his eyes welled with emotion as he pursued fence-sitting delegates and governors. However, Obasanjo saved his best to keep Vice President Atiku from defecting.

With rumor swirling that Atiku would opt to run with Ekwueme, Obasanjo wasted no time visiting the Vice President's residence. Obasanjo begged, declaring he would not leave Atiku's home unless the Vice President accompanied him to win back the delegates and governors. The performance had the desired effect. Atiku joined Obasanjo in publicly lobbying the conventioneers. While it might not have been Obasanjo's finest hour it was the defining moment of the convention. What had been a suspenseful contest would now turn into a rout.

Nigeria just lost 25 Airforce personnel!! Even trump and U.S presidents in general usually cut short their scheduled activities to attend to even if it is one service personnel that injured or lost his live or pay homage. Tinubu and wike are busy with politics while Peter obi has already visited the Nigerian Airforce at their Abuja base to condone with them!!!

Next year, we will choose another Tinubu and cry that we are suffering, while his terrible supporters are happy that he is Terrible so long has his loot is reaching them and their families and generations, forgetting they will all still die and be wiped out from the face of the earth.... Pathetic!!

Fubara is a very big clown.


He doesn't know his left or right.

Live him alone to leak his wounds and fraternize with whosoever he want. Afterall he has right of association.
