BREAKING NEWS

The National Secretary of the APC, Ajibola Basiru, in an interview with Sunday PUNCH, said Fubara had the full support of the party for his re-election campaign.

“Nobody can frustrate any APC governor. Fubara, like other APC governors, is running the affairs of his state well, he added.

Congratulations in advance, Sir Siminalayi Fubara GSSRS Governor of Rivers State.

Even if he never said this, do you think thar drvnk will actually take this ticket off Fubara if Tinubu is in support of Fubara? He should keep wailing from Local Governt to local government. The best he can do is to go and sponsor one guy in another party to give Fubara a long run.

Wike knows he can't stop Fubara anymore and that's why he has been silent. Fubara made a strategic move that shocked Wike and till this very moment, Wike is still shocked. At the very end, Fubara is a good student and Wike is proud of him even when he doesn't show it. Somebody should tell that Amaewhule that he might likely not go back to RSHA and even if he does, he will be impeached. Rivers State must move forward. Major Jack should get ready to lose his ticket too. All of them that don't have the interest of Rivers State, will definitely not return in 2027.

The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has praised Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, for his responsible leadership, describing Rivers as one of the most peaceful states in the country.

He also noted that President Bola Tinubu is happy with Fubara’s leadership style.

Ribadu stated this when he led a presidential delegation comprising the Ministers of Works, David Umahi, and Environment, Balarabe Lawal, and top officials of NNPCL on a courtesy visit to the Rivers State Government House in Port Harcourt on Monday.

Ribadu said the federal government delegation was in the state to consolidate ongoing peace efforts in Ogoni land.

He noted that a new chapter was unfolding in Ogoni, stressing that Nigeria “will no longer be what it used to be,” with the transformation beginning in the area.

According to him, President Bola Tinubu specifically directed him to thank Fubara, expressing happiness with his leadership style and coordination of the discussion on resumption of oil exploration in Ogoni.

Ribadu also conveyed the President’s appreciation to the people of Ogoni for their support, patience, and understanding.

The NSA further commended the Rivers state government for providing a campus for the University of Environment as well as accommodating the South-South Zonal Office of the Office of the National Security Adviser.

On his part, the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, described the Ogoni peace initiative as strategic to the renewed unity of Nigeria, noting that the President takes a personal interest in the well-being of the Niger Delta people.

Umahi assured that all sections of the East–West Road affecting the Niger Delta would be completed to standard.

He disclosed that on Ogoniland, the 15-kilometre Eleme axis of the East–West Road includes five flyovers, one of which is being constructed by the Rivers State Government to support the effort of the President.

He said the over ₦200 billion project is scheduled for completion in April next year.

The minister also revealed that, with presidential approval, designs are ongoing to dualise the Bonny–Bodo Road from its starting point to the East–West Road, including the construction of two flyovers.

Umahi added that the President has ordered a redesign of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway to pass through Ogoniland.

Also speaking, the Minister of Environment said the Ogoni clean-up project remains a priority for the ministry.

He explained that projects recommended by the United Nations Environment Programme are progressing well, including mangrove restoration, healthcare delivery, human capital development, and women empowerment initiatives.

NNPCL’s Bayo Ojulare said the national oil company is fully committed to the Ogoni dialogue process.

Ojulare stressed that going forward, the focus would be on the people rather than oil.

He disclosed that the employment of 30 Ogoni indigenes by NNPCL has reached the final stage, with appointment letters already issued and resumption scheduled for January 2026.

He described the developments in Ogoni as a model for a new Nigeria.

In his response, Fubara thanked Tinubu for his intervention, saying it reflects the actions of a leader who genuinely loves Rivers state.

The governor noted that resolving a crisis that lingered for over three decades in Ogoniland was not an easy task.

He said with the President’s intervention, residents can now drive with ease along both ends of the East–West Road, connecting Bonny and Bayelsa.

Fubara emphasised that beyond physical infrastructure, the President’s administration is rebuilding confidence in the region.

He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the peace process and managing emerging conflicts, noting that development cannot thrive in an atmosphere of crisis.

He added that adjustments and compromises are necessary for sustainable development to take place.

The governor also appealed to Ogoni leaders to engage the youths to allow oil facility operators access to repair faulty equipment, in order to prevent fresh oil spills while environmental restoration is ongoing.

Once Fubara secures his second tenure, he should do everything possible to remove that bad egg, Martins Amaewhule via impeachment. The plotting should be smooth.

ogugwa1992:
When news broke that Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, former Chief Justice of Nigeria, had died, the moment called for reflection rather than noise. Death has a way of closing a chapter, but it does not close the conversation about what that chapter meant. For many Nigerians, especially ordinary citizens whose only real encounter with democracy is on election day, Tanko Muhammad’s legacy will forever be tied to Imo State, January 14, 2020.
That day, the Supreme Court overturned the outcome of the 2019 Imo State governorship election and installed a candidate who had not been declared winner at the polls. The decision rested on the inclusion of results from hundreds of polling units that had earlier been excluded. On paper, it was a judicial correction. In the hearts of many Nigerians, it felt like something else entirely: the erasing of their voices.

For the common voter, elections already demand patience, courage, and faith. People wake before dawn, stand in long lines, and cast ballots in the hope that their small act will matter. When a court later appears to reverse that collective effort, the pain cuts deep. Many citizens did not read legal briefs or judgments; they felt the outcome. To them, it looked as though thousands of votes had been wiped away by men in robes, far removed from the dust, sweat, and fear of the polling unit.

This is where the real damage occurred, not only in Imo State, but across the country. The judgment fed an existing fear that elections in Nigeria do not truly belong to the people. Conversations in buses, markets, and homes changed tone. “Why vote?” some asked. “If courts can decide everything, what is the point?” That quiet despair may be the most enduring consequence of the case.

Imo State itself became a symbol of instability. Protests followed. Political tensions deepened. Trust in institutions thinned. What should have been a legal resolution instead widened the distance between the judiciary and the public it is meant to serve. Even those who defended the ruling as legally sound struggled to answer a simpler question that ordinary Nigerians kept asking: how can justice feel so far from fairness?

Under Tanko Muhammad’s leadership, the judiciary began to look, to many eyes, less like a neutral guardian and more like an extension of political power. Whether that perception was accurate or not mattered less than the fact that it took hold. Once people stop believing courts are independent, the damage spreads beyond election cases. It reaches everyday life: the poor person who believes justice is only for sale, the accused who assumes guilt before trial, the citizen who thinks connections matter more than truth.

Tanko Muhammad’s tenure ended amid internal turmoil within the judiciary itself, further reinforcing the sense of an institution struggling to hold its moral center. By the time he left office, public confidence had already been deeply shaken.

Now that he is gone, it would be easy to soften the past or speak only of his rise through the judiciary. But honesty matters, especially if Nigeria hopes to rebuild trust in its courts. A legacy is not only what a judge intended, but what the people experienced. And for many Nigerians, the Imo judgment became a turning point—a moment when belief in the power of the ballot began to fade.

This is not about celebrating or condemning a man in death. It is about acknowledging the harm done to public faith and learning from it. Courts do not survive on authority alone; they survive on legitimacy. When people believe judges can overturn their will without clear, convincing explanations, democracy itself weakens.
Tanko Muhammad’s death closes his personal story, but the lesson remains alive. If the judiciary is to recover, it must remember that justice is not only about legal correctness. It is also about being seen, felt, and understood as fair. Because once people lose faith in the courts, they do not run to the law—they turn away from it.

https://leaders.ng/2025/12/19/tanko-muhammad-and-the-judgment-that-shook-public-faith/

Both Imo State Gubernatorial election judgement, Bayelsa State and the one that led to the emergence of Yahaya Bello as the Governor of Kogi State on the demise of Audu are really judgments and positions I can't really explain.

mactoni91:
I don't want to believe Fubara is a mugu....

Fubara is using Tinubu's influence to evade Wike.

Guyman wan scam Tinubu

If you're based in River State, you'd understand you cant take Rivers State away from PDP

Who is this one? You basically don't understand Rivers politics at the moment. Yes, it is true that prior this time, you can't take away Rivers State from the PDP but what's going to play out is that Rivers State will vote massively for Tinubu and the APC. Why? Because people want to get back at Wike. Rivers people want to get back at Wike for trying to control the state despite being an ex governor, it's not about PDP or APC, it's about Wike loosing grip of the state.
