The Rivers State House of Assembly has initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Sim Fubara and his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu.

You never can tell. It's too early to judge unless you are among those that wants Obi to fail so that tinibu will continue showing Nigerians pepper 🌶️

The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Nyesom Wike has asked Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to apologise to the FCT minister within 48 hours.

On Monday, Basiru asked Wike to resign his appointment and focus on what he described as an “obsession” with Rivers state politics.

Wike had asked the APC national secretary to stay off Rivers politics.

In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Etim Isong, factional zonal publicity secretary of the PDP south-south, the faction condemned Basiru’s “personal attack” on Wike.

The group said Basiru’s remarks were inappropriate and capable of undermining the administration of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election.

The statement said it was perplexing that Basiru, who “failed to produce a governor for the APC” in Osun state in 2023, would seek to question the political relevance of Wike in Rivers state.

The faction said Basiru’s suggestion that Wike’s support for Tinubu was no different from that of other non-APC supporters showed “amateurish political judgment”.

“To imply that Minister Wike’s support for President Tinubu is no different from that of other non-APC supporters is a clear indicator of amateurish political judgment,” the statement reads.

The group said Basiru’s call for Wike to resign as FCT minister portrayed him as an opponent of the Tinubu administration.

“Senator Basiru’s call for the resignation of a performing minister like Nyesom Wike portrays him as an opponent of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and an enemy of the Nigerian state,” the statement reads.

The PDP faction said Basiru was unfit to occupy the office of the APC national secretary and called on him to resign.

The group also accused Basiru of attempting to deploy divide-and-rule tactics in Rivers state politics, warning that such efforts would fail.

The faction said Basiru must issue a public apology to Wike and the people of Rivers state within 48 hours.

“He has 48 hours to issue a full apology to Minister Nyesom Wike and the people of Rivers state,” the statement added.

The faction warned that failure to apologise could result in Basiru being declared persona non grata in Rivers state.

The group described Wike as a national leader of the PDP whose influence in Rivers politics remains decisive.

The statement noted that even Siminialayi Fubara recognises Wike as the political leader who built the structure that produced him as governor.

The faction said the APC could not downplay Wike’s role in Rivers politics or his impact on electoral outcomes, including the 2023 election.

“In politics, ingratitude is an offence, and biting the finger that prepares your meal is even a more unforgivable offence,” the statement added.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared that no 2027 presidential aspirant will step down in the African Democratic Congress presidential race, adding that all aspirants will present themselves freely.

Atiku, in a statement released on Tuesday by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, called on Nigerians to resist efforts by the All Progressives Congress to intimidate and weaken the opposition.

The former Vice President’s comments came amid speculation that he is facing pressure to step aside for a Southern candidate to emerge as the ADC’s flagbearer in the upcoming election against President Bola Tinubu.

Atiku added that if anyone should step down, it is President Bola Tinubu, whose leadership he described as a growing national liability.

The statement read in part, “For nearly three years, Nigerians have endured one of the harshest periods in recent history, an era defined by punishing economic policies and shrinking democratic space under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“True to form, this administration has not only inflicted widespread hardship but has pursued a calculated effort to eliminate political alternatives. The objective is clear: a creeping, de facto one-party state.

“Perhaps the Tinubu administration’s most disturbing achievement has been the systematic weakening of opposition parties, leaving the All Progressives Congress—despite its manifest failures—standing alone by default, not by merit.

“Thankfully, patriotic leaders saw this danger early and chose resistance over silence by rallying around the African Democratic Congress as the nucleus of a credible national alternative.

“Predictably, agents aligned with the Presidency are now attempting to destabilise the ADC from the outside, issuing reckless prescriptions about its internal affairs, particularly the choice of a presidential candidate.

“Let it be stated plainly: the ADC is on a national rescue mission. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, alongside other committed patriots, is central to this effort. Any call—overt or covert—for Atiku to step aside is a gift to authoritarian ambition and a betrayal of the Nigerian people.”

He added that the ADC is committed to ending the purported misfortunes brought about by the Tinubu-led APC, stressing that no form of intimidation, manipulation, or sabotage will derail this mission.

It continued, “The ADC has consistently affirmed its commitment to an open, transparent, and competitive process for selecting its flagbearer. APC proxies and external meddlers have no standing to intimidate, blackmail, or sabotage this democratic resolve.

“At present, the ADC is focused on building strong ward, local government, and state structures nationwide. Disruptors and infiltrators must allow the party to do this essential work without interference.

“The party remains open and welcoming to all genuine opposition figures. This inclusiveness—not coercion is the soul of democracy.

When the time comes, all qualified aspirants will present themselves freely. No one is stepping down. If anyone should step aside, it is President Tinubu—whose leadership has become a national liability.

“The recent public declaration of ADC membership by former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in Enugu, the political heartbeat of the Southeast, triggered open boasts by a serving minister and presidential aides about plans to undermine the party. Their fear is evident.

“Let there be no ambiguity: the ADC is determined to end the misfortune imposed by the Tinubu-led APC. No amount of intimidation, intrigue, or sabotage will derail this rescue mission. Nigeria will not surrender its democracy without a fight."

Okay oooooo

Let's see what happens. No need for long talk.

Elusive001:
Wike is greater than APC bros. Who wan put body?

Mirasteel:
The best think Fubara did was defecting to the ruling Party, with that Wike won't be able to do anything to him and APC governors have his back.
