Fubara rebelled too early.wike will bury him

He can't. Not with the overwhelming support that Fubara has at the moment.

Most of the pro-Wike's lawmaker are only supporting him because they presently have ongoing cases at the Appeal court. By next year February, the dynamics will change and tilt in favour of Fubara.

Rivers politicians like money. With money they can sway to your direction. And the average Rivers politician do not like sitting on the fence. As FCT minister, there is a limit to which Wike can exercise power over Rivers state. As Minister, his largess to keep his supporters loyal to him is limited and cannot dovetail to those at the rural area.

Did I hear you say impeachment? Impeachment is a rigorous process. Is not as easy as you think.

They can't impeach Fubara. Mark it somewhere that Fubara will complete his 4years tenure and will seek for re-election.

Well, I need not argue with you. Like I said impeachment is a rigourous process. Is not something that is done within a day.

Previous impeachments done in the 4th Republic most especially during OBJ era contravened the relevant section of the constitution that has to do with removal of governor.

The unconstitutional impeachments of DSP Alamieyeseigha, Joshua Dariye and Rashidi Ladoja was done in contravention of the laid down principles of the constitution. And that was why Rashidi and Joshua Dariye impeachment was reversed by the court. Alamieyeseigha's was arrested so could not explore judicial redress.

You are not getting it.the aim is to get fubara out of office whether constitutional or not.once he is impeached,he will go to court and by the time court rules,4 years is over

They can't even kickstart it. Dep governor Philip shuaibu and the deputy governor of Ondo state, upon the House of Assembly in their respective states making attempt to impeach them they went to court to stall the process. You see that Gov. Sim suit against Rivers state House of Assembly, it has already punctured the move. And knowing how snailish our judicial system is, it would afford SIM the opportunity to manoeuvre his way.

senatordave1:
Rivers State House of Assembly under the Speakership of Martins Amaewhule yesterday, at the 85th legislative sitting elected new Majority Leader and House Whip.

The newly elected are, Hon Major Jack, the member representing Akuku Toru Constituency 1, and former Whip of the House as the Majority Leader, while, Hon Frankline Nwabochi, member, representing Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Constituency 1, was elected the new Whip of the House.


THISDAY observed that the two new principal officers took their oath of office, immediately after they were voted by the members present at the sitting.

The Speaker, Amaewhule, congratulated the duo and charged them to be committed to their new responsibilities.

In another development, the Bill seeking to amend the Rivers State Local Government Law, No. 5 of 2018 and other matters connected thereto, has reached first reading.

The assembly members also debated on the Rivers State House of Assembly Funds Management (Financial Autonomy) Bill, 2023, after giving the Bill Second Reading.


Commenting on the Bill, Amaewhule harped on the importance of the Bill and noted his conviction that when passed the Governor will give his assent to the Bill.

The Speaker hinted that the Governor, Sir Siminialayi Fubara has withheld the funds meant for the Assembly for the month of November, 2023 but stated the resolve of the House to perform its constitutional function despite the distractions, and referred the Bill to the House Committee on Public Accounts for public hearing and further legislative scrutiny.


Amaewhule also thanked the 27 Members of the House for passing a vote of confidence on him and other principal officers; and reaffirmed his commitment to the service of the House and the State.

You're always on the side of lawlessness which is very depicting

Jogs1900:

For where? SIM go beg laslas.

people are on the side SIM, Wike would soon be orphan in Rivers politics

wingmanIII:
Ehie is the speaker, Rsha

How can Ehie be speaker when he did not meet the conditions to be speaker as stipulated by law, to wit, having a 2/3 majority votes to impeach the current speaker and 2/3 vote to become speaker.

When have you seen Ehie inside Rivers House of Assembly chamber presiding as speaker. Or has he even ventured close to the gate of the Assembly ground since the incident of October?

Him and his 5man gang are doing nothing but sitting at home watching TV and posting Videos on X.

DSS1335:
This factional speaker is still playing to the tune of wike. He well know that if Fubara along with his Deputy are impeached successfully, he being an ikwerre man will take over..lol

The funniest thing is that It is now they wanted financial autonomy for the house of assembly and are very sure the Governor whom they were antagonizing will accent to the bill...i don't know what is boosting their morale so high. I am sure that they can't contemplate such move if wike were still in power

Lol. Wike is still bank rolling them, their eye go soon clear. Make them ask ask the Edo state House of assembly members how far. Obaseki de use them like tissue paper

Not likely to happen. Those hoa members will be kidnapped and all hell will break loose.

Fortruth:
"Rivers" state


Meaningless name...


No wonder there is so much corruption

Meaningless name and meaningless State assembly LOL

What's the meaning of your state? Don't you know the meaning of Rivers? If you don't know let me help you overcome your ignorance.

The importance of rivers for human survival and our ability to thrive cannot be overstated. Rivers are not just areas of important biodiversity and are home to endangered wildlife. They are also vitally important for the human race.

From the beginning of human history, we have gathered around rivers to make use of their natural resources and it can be argued that in many cases rivers gave us the ability to grow as a civilization. Even today, it is surprising just how much we still rely on rivers to support our livelihoods and economies.

Rivers was used to name Rivers State was named as a result of this contributions and the plethora of Rivers scattered all of the terrain. Some of these Rivers includes

Orashi River
Andoni River
Bonny River
New Calabar River
Nun River
Orashi River
Bodo River
Eleme/Okrika River
Emesu River
Imo-Ogoni River
Kaa River
Ngololo River
Ogu/Onne River
Ogochie River
Okulu Aleto River Channel
Oloshi River
Opobo Channel River
Otamiriochie River
San Bartholomeo River
Santa Barbara River
Sombreiro River
Sii Nama River
St Nicholas River

And to crown it up, the Atlantic ocean bounds the State southwards.

If Rivers State isn't meaningful to you I don't know what else can be meaningful to you. You can remain in that state of ignorance if you wish.

Stop trash talking others , you can say such about the meaning of your state.

senatordave1:


Amaehule it is

Edison sends bill to sim while Amaehulr sends his bill to Wike to sign into law

You will learn a lesson

Pierohandsome:
Lol. Where are they sitting, and I thought the court told them to stop sitting and maintain status quo?


Ok nah. Fubara is jonsing himself.

What would you do if you were Fubara?

osuofia2:

Lol. Wike is still bank rolling them, their eye go soon clear. Make them ask ask the Edo state House of assembly members how far. Obaseki de use them like tissue paper

That is because Buhari was weak and allowed it.
Ultimately it comes down to who controls the police and army in the state.
If the president removes that from the governor he is empty
Just like Jonathan did to Rotimi Amaechi
Buhari was in his second term.and Had no personal interest in winning Edo in 2023.
Tinubu knows that Wike will support him in 2027 so he has an interest
When Obasanjo wanted to remove Alamiesigha it was. very easy.
The president in Nigeria is all powerful as we witnessed during the Currency change about a year ago
Again we saw how the police humiliated Sanwo Olu . It is all down to Abuja

Small boy let me teach you politics. Don't bring ikwerre into this. Major Jack is Ijaw and is against Fubara. Soon when the stage is set Martins Amaewhule is resigning his position for Major Jack to be elected Speaker. If you know what this means you are not a small boy in politics.

The governor either accent to the bill or the veto with 2/3 majority. They have the numbers

Holding back the assembly funds is an impeachable offense.
They only need him to make a very silly impeachable offense.

Politics is deep...the Governor needs 100% loyalty of the assembly members

Gov Sim Fubara needs to be tutored by the oracle of Edo state, gov Godwin Obaseki. Just as you rightly mentioned, he needs to pull down the complex to it's foundation sighting structural defect as a result of the bombing of the complex.

Validated:
People do not learn. Those that followed Oshomole in Benin are still leaking their wounds.

Na the Fabara self I blame. Just remove the roof of the assembly and start major renovation immediately. Then provide a hall in government house for members to meet. Anyone not ready should resign.

senatordave1:


Fubara rebelled too early.wike will bury him

I r not from Rivers state.

Wike is not a politician
He is power drunk.

What did Gov Sim do that is wrong?

A governor that is not upto 5months?

They can make attempt to impeach him. Sim would fight back to safe his head, there would be rancur in Rivers, and Tinubu will declare state of emergency, install Military administrator. Obasanjo did it and heaven did not fall.

They should send the bill to wike for assent. Jokers!

Gajagojo:


What would you do if you were Fubara?

shut down the complex with the excuse that arms and ammunitions were discovered and been stockpiled by some unscrupulous lawmakers led by the speaker to destabilize the state. Get the speaker arrested, detain him, and move the sitting place to Government house, declare the entire 27 members wanted. They wouldn't have the gut to come to government house to sit, after some few weeks, declare their seats vacant, case closed

How can u ignore the fact that if Fubara is impeached he's walking straight to jail because of an existing case which wil be politicised.

I just hope ur postulation about the lawmakers waiting for appeal cases to laps befor supporting Fubara be true cos without the assembly Fubara is a gonner, mass appeal or not.

Fubara can do all this one with a federal police supporting Wike?

Fubara was ill-advised...he should have played the fool. like Douye Diri did to Dickson of Bayelsa State.

Get your second tenure befor feeling righteous. After all you guys were bromancing before and during the elections.

Your analysis does not make any sense
If Fubara is impeached and replaced will his replacement not have that same money

Rivers politicians like money unlike Kogi politicians or Delta politicians

If it was just about money then it does not matter who is governor. they will still get paid

You are just finding an argument to buttress your desired outcome

Sim/Wike matter strong
