This is the problem with nigerians. You don't hate corruption. You just don't like it because you or your family members are not benefitting.

Both wike and fubara are crooks. Fubara is governor today why won't wike allow him to be governor because he wants a large chunk of rivers money on a monthly basis. That is the cause of this whole fight and anybody supporting wike is a rogue.

And yes I will maintain the same position wether it is you or my family member. Nigeria will never get better if we keep having this mentality of "me and my family" at the expense of the common good of society.

This is why when we call out bad governance and bad policy supporters of APC will tell you that the government will benefit them and their families as 8f there is separate market, exchange rate or filling station for APC supporters. Pure nonsense!
APC supporters are the most foolish I've come across. You're supporting looters simply because you want to taunt Obi and his supporters. The looters are enjoying the nation's wealth while you're suffering but you prefer it because you want to form politically superior online

Go and remove Ifeanyi uba and the 27 lawmakers, stop beating your chest on the Internet, real life is different from wishful thinking on social media
Exactly!! In real life, the constitution should be obeyed. Those lawmakers plus Uba have lost their seats.
Lawlessness and disrespect for our laws is not wishful thinking. You're supporting lawlessness and disregard for the constitution because it favors your darling politicians. If the military start a coup now folks like you will start wailing.
Hypocrites

Nobody can declare their seats vacant, state banquet was held yesterday in PH and the real speaker was recognised as speaker, I don't know why you guys think any court in Nigeria can order inec to conduct a rerun election for their seats when wike and Tinubu are still alive? Many Nigerians truly live in a bubble
Are you by any chance implying that Wike and Tinubu are too big for the courts to rule against?

what's my business with a couple? Which past and present politician has not benefitted from the lawlessness in Nigeria? I'm sure if I go through your post, I'll see a comment in favour of a politician you support and like, you only draw the line when you don't support the person, is that not hypocrisyy?

Did fubara tell you personally that money is the cause of the disagreement. You will maintain the sane position yet if I go through yiu post, I'll see a comment you made in support of fubara. Nigerians are largely hypocritees and you're not an exception

Chairman I refuse to play your "me and my family" nonsense. I reserve the right to call out any politician that misbehaves. I am not a slave to any politician. APC people hailed wike for rigging elections for them in rivers State, most of them supported Tinubu when he was fighting against godfatherism by Obasanjo but they suddenly think it's ok for the president to dish out orders to an elected governor.

I will not be part of that hypocrisy. Wike should face his minister work and allow the governor be

Most of you here truly need brain replacement surgery. Your brains are dead honestly.

So you didn't notice in all these crisis that the APC law makers have their own security cover from powers above? You don't know it's the federal government that controls the police,army, DSS,nscdc etc? Have you heard about AIG Joseph Mbu former CP of Rivers State?

U be real blockheaded mugu! I don't know what you empty brains are doing on nairaland instead of reading your high school books. Mtcheeeew

Oh really? Do you see how stewpïd you're. I doubt if you sucked your mom's breast enough, if not, you would be thinking like a reasonable child.

With all the Federal Might of Ameachi, yet Wike defeated him as the Governor of a state like Rivers.

The reason why Mbu did anyhow was because the people detested the party Amaechi belonged too. Your Federal Might can only work when the people are with you. Osun, your gods home state was stolen from him despite state and federal might.

Immature clown.

I don't support any politician. I'm more interested in Nigeria and its betterment. Does that sound strange to you?
If you're a citizen of this country and you support whoever holds the power to bastardise the country, I think you should be seen as a saboteur

We will give George Kelly or Boma iyaye the ticket, let's see how fubara will win, fubara can't win obio/akpor or phalga, we will win 22/23, we go dash am opobo. How many Senators are with fubara, apart from Boba goodhead and Abiante, how many rep members are with him, apart from opobo LGA Chairman, how many LGA Chairmen are with him? I can't wait for 2027

Their whining and dining has never stopped them from kicking them out. MKO was good friends with Abacha and IBB. Buhari was made COAS by Shagari.
What I'm saying is I hope you won't be asking anybody to go out and "fight for democracy" if the military kicks out your all-powerful politicians who you think are beyond the reach of the constitution

Because since 1999 till now, military men have ruled 16 out of the 24 years.
What is important is that you keep the same energy off it is what it is if such occurs. Nobody should start disturbing people to come out and fight for democracy

Which assembly? The jobless members I believe you are talking about? Bye elections will be conducted for those seats. Wike has lost his grips over the state, I even heard most of the members are begging to return back to PDP 😂

This your question I find very irrelevant.

Now the difference between Wike and Fubara's emergence is that, while Wike on his own with the structure he built through GDI and its reach through the length and breadth of Rivers state battled an opposition government in power to a standstill and emerged victorious. While conversely Fubara was carried like an appendage (Nomination form, campaign and logistics were all financed for him) through the campaign, people even complained that they hardly see him speak in public, infact Wike in one his interview stated that he anointed Fubara because the Man never at any point indicated any interest to govern the state and he is a technocrat that will take Rivers state to the next level.

Should such a person be playing politics at this early stage of his government, one should have expected him to concentrate in delivering good governance and I have to admit he started well with his plans and pronouncements especially in agriculture and infrastructure and human resource development.

Then with time entrench himself to the people by virtue of performance and perhaps after his first tenure he can start playing high level politics as they all do but no he rather listen to people that know next to nothing about his nomination by dismantling the very structure that brought him to power.

Well he has played his card let him deal with the consequences thereof.

Nigerian politics is a peculiar one, a stand alone person can hardly smell the coveted seat of a governor unless the person is a money bag with the people behind him/her or you're carried by the existing structure in place.

Which opposition Governor did he battle? Amachi was a pdp Governor and his disagreement was more with the wife of the president so I don't understand the so called structure you are talking about. Amaechi completed his tenure as a Governor.

I think say you sabi something.. now I know say you no sabi anything... let me school you ..

The constitution states that .. once members of the house defect to another party without any crisis in their party.. the remaining members of the ruling party should declare their seats vacant and request for fresh elections via the electoral body.. but they are running to Abuja securing court injunction to stop inec.. oga before you type try do research

My brother I just taya for some people and the way the reason. With the pressing issues on our hands someone' spriority is about politicians at war with the state's resource. So we are supposed to debate who is winning the fight for their selfish interest? This freedom of expression dey expose some of us to a wide range of mediocrity. display.
michlins:
the citizens of this country are very funny and disoriented plus out of touch of what to require from people they elected.

Our concern is who won between Wike and his protege. In a country without basic amenities like water, power and other things.

These people will be doing this until four years will elapse with the citizens getting nothing from it meanwhile, they're busy looting the resources with reckless abandon.

Omo!!!!

Federal might is federal might, whether or not the people are with you. Power is power. Understand that first. The question is do you know how to use it?

Amaechi was not willing to do whatever it took and you had a president like Buhari who was neither strategic nor had a firm grip of his government.

Fubara is different from these two. They fought for power. Fubara was baby fed. You guys keep mystifying cluelessness.

We have seen this cluelessness in a president before and the lack of control or awareness in another president. Fubara appears to be a combination of those negative attributes of the previous presidents.

Now it is trending on the social media that Edison is now the chief of staff, yet no confirmation from his government. This has been the style of his government.
