FreedomfromtheT:
Political office is not a family property.
If predecessors or powerful politicians were picking their family members as successors, former governor Nyesom Wike who was sponsored by Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan wouldn't have become governor of Rivers State.
Just to educate you, former president George H W Bush didn't impose his son on the people of the United States. He had left the scene for eight good years before his son George Bush became elected as president by the US electorate.
The late Saraki senior chose his son Saraki junior to be Kwara State governor after supporting outsiders.
Saraki junior refused to handpick his younger sister Gbemisola as his successor against his father's wish.
A member of the Kennedy family in the Us is just contesting as an independent candidate after decades of J F Kennedy's famous presidency.
Thank you.

Thank you for educating the ignorant fools

justking:
"Can you imagine Wike came out to say that no single person from Rivers State who is holding an elective position bought a form? That is a scandal and he said it and got away with it. This means that House of Assembly members, he bought forms for them; National Assembly members, he bought forms for them, and Fubara, he bought the form for him."

"As what," he questioned, adding that "Rivers State cannot be his property."

That is how they capture and put the state in their pocket.

Anwons:
Wike's claim of buying forms for all the giver aspirants, Senators, reps,etc is enough to put him in his place if Nigeria is a sane state.

To hell with Wike

To hell with him

Empty Barrel Oblivious Pikin, even slaves are entitled to their own misconstrued opinion.

Let your hatred for APC not send you to an early demise, seems you have lost all ability to reason logically.

If you knew who you are talking to, you would have begged me to borrow you some sense.

favor914:
26 law makers have cross carpeted, more than 8 commissioners have tendered their resignations so far, yet to all this confused myopic empty Skull heads, Nyesom Wike is losing?

The 26 law makers and the commissioners that have resigned are like sheep following Wike to the slaughter.

Sunday2021:
Only animals will support Wike in this fight. Wike want to turn the governor into a house boy because of his selfish ambition. He want to use the governor to gather money for his presidential ambition.

The way Tinubu turned successive Lagos State governors to house boys!

Sunday2021:
as foolish as you sound I will still ask you this question.
Where is the so called agreement?
Is rivers state now the property of Wike?
If Buhari should treat tinubu the way Wike is treating Fubara, what will be your reaction?
I know you cannot answer even one of the question because your skull is empty.

There is nothing left in his right brain, and there is nothing right in his left brain.

KingKO22:


Igbo are the worst set of people who always cherish betrayal than loyalty

That's more reason why we can't trust an Igbo man with national treasure

Betrayal runs I'm their DNA.

When Wike choose Fubara he would have rejected the offer knowing fully well that the structure that brought him must be maintained at all cost


If i sponsor you abroad with the hope that when you succeed you will help my children then you get there and forget about our agreement and you expect me to be happy with you? How do Igbo see betrayal as a norm still battles me

I don't know how old you are. Some "help" people do to "help" you would put you in bondage in the future. It is for their selfish reasons they are "helping" you, and they won't allow you to breathe afterwards.

favor914:
You forgot to mention that Nyesom Wike also selected & enthroned Fubara as Governor, so what is all these your hypocritical crocodile tears about?

Those loyal to Wike are equally enslaved, but they don't know. It takes one person to take the lead and break the shackles of godfatherism. Fubara has taken the bull by the horn, and I'm optimistic he will be victorious.

Validated:
With what we are seeing going on in Rivers one would never expect newly elected governor to perform.
Just imagine that Wike selected 27 out of 32 RSHA members. Appointed all LGA chairmen, appointed about 20 of the commissioners.
May be he selected the deputy governor also.

Now tell me how was Fabara supposed to perform as a governor when the godfather caged him with this type of arrangement?

Please, should there be any governor in this deep mess, time has come to rebel and get freedom. Surbordination is not servitude.

That is the way of godfathers. Terrible!

There is nothing left in his right brain, and there is nothing right in his left brain.

yinkus6750:
This are the nobody pushing Fubara.
Real SIMP of a Governor.
You accepted and agreed to be imposed as the Governor.
If you no longer confident in the arrangement, why not resign as your Commissioners are doing now ?

People like you are why Nigerians remain enslaved by crooked politicians.

Thundafireseun:
Hope you guys are all aware that Wike has never lost a single fight

He has lost this one.

JohnAOne:
Too late for that

Kanu the TERRORIST will not escape this one.

Where are the real TERRORISTS?

akezn:
So Wike appointed all these and more for Sim. The governor was really in chains.

Fubara is trying to break the shackles.

Curse777:




How exactly will Fabura function as a Governor without Law makers and Commissioners

Nobody to pass his budget

Wike played this game like a pro

You're delusional

Yankiss:
What I meant by too early is 1. He was Wike's beneficiary 2. He is yet to lean the ropes. He needs to have furtively studied the ground and how to react and which institutions to strengthen or weaken. Hasty climbers have sudden fall.

It's like the benefactor trying to strangulate the beneficiary. The beneficiary must muster all his strength to free himself from the chokehold of the wicked benefactor, or else the beneficiary won't be able to breathe.

phemmie06:
Are all these men resigning belong to Wike, if yes Wike is wicked, why would your men hold on the key positions after you have been governor for eight years, why can't him import them to Abuja with him?
No politician have the interest of the state or nation which they govern, they are like devil that give an egg 🥚 fir a full grown roaster or bull

That's godfatherism. The godfather dictates everything, reducing the godson (a whole governor) to a puppet. Thank God Wike has not grown to become what Tinubu is in Lagos. If you know what Oyo State went through in the hand of the strongman (godfather) of Ibadan politics, the late Lamidi Adedibu, and how the late Olusola Saraki of Kwara held Kwara State by the jugular, you will detest godfatherism. I'm waiting for the day Lagos State will be freed from the chokehold of Tinubu.

You are free to video, take photos of police officers on duty, BUT DON'T GET CAUGHT.

Wike practically nominated all the commissioners. Fubara is lucky that all the members of HOR were not imposed by Wike. Godfatherism in Nigerian politics is worse than satanism.

Xscape1993:
This is Nigeria where a sitting governor does not have a say in his administration because of godfatherism. We are not practicing true democracy in Nigeria at all.

That's the problem with godfatherism. Most of those in key positions, who are now resigning, are those nominated and positioned by the godfather.

Can you see the problem with godfatherism? Most of those in key positions, who are now resigning, are those nominated and positioned by the godfather.

Fubara's camp should be wary of the defected lawmakers returning to PDP.

A welcome development. The unintelligent folks think the only way to curb corruption in salary payment is by having a centralized payroll platform. I was waiting for them to direct all government workers to open salary accounts with CBN. Idiots. They fail to understand that we can have clusters of interconnected payroll systems, just as we have many commercial banks on different platforms connected to inter-bank payment system. Corruption in government workers payroll is easy to tackle if government can reach out to those who know how best to tackle the problem. IPPIS has not solved the problem.

It will get worse. Let's have state police and community police, they say no.

What is the integrity of those who rated down the integrity of the structure?

Who are you asking?

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Love56743:
If care is not taking sim will still lose this war, he should try and get close to tinubu and ganduje, And other top Apc politicians to help him out because 90% of Apc members don't like wike with what I'm saying, but they are all pretending because of the last election,wike is power drunk politician that you should be careful with..

You are naive about what's going on.

Israel07:


All of you just keep shouting Ambode lack balls without giving thought to how possible it is to win a war with Tinubu is. Where would he had started from?
Tinubu is like an octopus in Lagos with leg in every sector of Lagos especially where you have a huge concentration of miscreants and louts like Transport and work. The political, elite and middle class also, so where would he have started from.
Tinubu carry everything along in his evil plans so it's hard to get to him. Tinubu is a legion in Lagos. If he had tried to, he might win but lives and billions 'll be wasted. Edo was easier cos Oshiomole didn't have that kind of Power in Edo. Power is a game, you play to win but it's also important to stay in the game as long as possible so you can actually have the chance to win.

When godfatherism is allowed to fester, the godfather becomes a monster. Tinubu is a monster. The late Lamidi Adedibu of Ibadan and Olusola Saraki of Ilorin were monsters; Oyo State and Kwara State were freed only when the duo died.

Lance008:
I see reason why the gov must be removed
He Dey faster than he shadow

If running faster than his shadow will make him win, Fubara should run fast, else Wike will overrun him.
