ecolime:
Peace in Rivers state is all we want.

SIM fought too soon. You don't attempt to shed yourself off your godfather after just 3 months in power. Who does that?

He suppose calm down, strategize and get key players on his side first. Politics na smart game, not war, not gra-gra or Nsogbu Nsogbu.

Father and son have shealt their swords but definitely, there will be a big re-election fight in 2026 if the current "fake" calmness last till then.

For now, na to first cross the supreme court judgement.

We are yet to see the last of this movie.

The only thing still working for Wike as a godfather is him being in Tinubu's government as a minister.

He played anti party and made it to Tinubu's cabinet.

If he was just still a PDP member without any government position, 80 percent of the people still supporting him would have sided with Sim.

Thisis2raw:
I have never seen a man that is so ungrateful like Sim.
Three months into your govt, you started fighting who brought you to power.
They are saying no Godfatherism in rivers state.
But we accept the fact you need someone to help you grow in life.
Who amongst you that support Sim can be honest and say he/she knows Sim poor to the primaries that made him pdp candidate?

Law of karma in full play.

What gives anybody the right to bring anyone to power or make anyone governor?
Is that the democracy?

What gives any man the right to buy form for everyone contesting in his party? Not with his personal money but money meant to provide for poor Rivers people?

Because you helped a man to power,

You will choose 30 assembly members for him.
Choose 95 percent of his commissioners for him.
Choose chief of staff for him.
Choose Chief security officer for him.
Still be collecting money.


Habaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Whatever happened serves Wike right. That one na small sef.

In short Fubara wasted too much time. He should have started the fight after 2 weeks.

Wike wanted to be third term governor.


Call Fubara ungrateful, I call Wike greedy.

Me I have never seen anyone as greedy as Wike.

They are discreetly telling you they can give you "big head"

Next time they tell you that, your whip it out and stand arms and legs akimbo, like Ronaldo about to shoot a freekick.


Thank me later.

simpleseyi:


For the next 8 years, you will keep crying and wailing because we will not appoint enemies into our government

I hope your turn will come for the appointments.

Abi are you not up to 24 years old and educated?

Our government indeed...


Receiving stipend of 28k should not make you think you're part of the government.

BabaO2:

Dumb
No need to join issues with you..
No one competent enough to replace these ones from their region when it happened.
Buhari replaced Adeoshun with Ahmed .. No problem
Jonathan replaced Remi Oyo with Ima Niboro ...No problem

Same idiotic vituperations ,,,
Comments only worthy to be emanating from a zoo of monkeys and chimpanzees.

Your defense is that Buhari did it, Jonathan did it!

Black man na curse aswear!

Number 27...

4-7-8 method to fall asleep....


What does that mean?

BabaO2:

How?
It will be disservice to put a known greedy and penchant for stealing individual.
Buhari replaced Adeoshun with Ahmed .. No problem
Jonathan replaced Remi Oyo with Ima Niboro ...No problem
Tinubu put in the gap Akinwale for a thief Halima, you are all crying, how little minded are you people.
Mr President has reponsibility for his government, he only owes each state a ministerial position, he has satisfied that. You cant stampede no one.

Stop making silly excuses abeg.

It is even better for you to admit it and say
"Yes every tribe is doing it, when it is your turn do your own"

Than making these silly pathetic excuses for a man who is clearly outrageously nepotistic.

No sane person would be opposed to removing the lady and investigated,,

But is there no one from her region to replace her?
Is there no Northerner to replace her?
Is there no ibo man to replace her?
Is there to Niger Delta to replace her?
Is there no North Central man to replace her?

Must it be another ngbatti ngbatti?

Mitsurugi:
I can't fault Tinubu on the ethnic coloration of his appointments. Buhari did it with swag. It's the turn of the Yorubas. I'm only interested in how this game plan will pan out in 2027.

Buhari was even better than Tinubu.

Unknown to most Southerners, Buhari did it across North Central, North East and North West.

This man is doing it across South West, South West and South West.

The man is worse than Buhari in nepotism,,,

Don't try to play ostrich here.

simpleseyi:


Only a mentally unstable human will complain about this move by the President to suspend a perceived corrupt official until she is able to defend corruption allegations against her.

I think you need to do a self assessment

What of Mahmoud Yakubu?

Don't you think Mahmoud should be suspended and probed to account for all the INEC funds?

Your yeye dey smell like rotten fish.

Promax4321:
He said he and his Oga Wike won while those pushing him to fight Wike failed.

They actually won, returned the 27 assembly members, paid them, removed makeshift speaker, settled with Wike on signed agreement term.

Both won, a win, win situation, those obedient that want war in Rivers are the losers.

All hail SIM
All hail Wike
All hail peaceful Rivers

All hail Wike's third tenure.

Timoleon:


It's a fake headline. Normally, guys no dey stretch hand give man wey senior am for handshake not to now talk of a yoruba boy stretching hand to man wey reach him papa age before you come dey talk of say na king sef.

1. Senior Man.
2. Papa Age.
3. King.

Triple jeopardy!

7 months on,,

I I still can't believe that this NLC has not successfully pulled off one strike.

Not one!


The only thing I wish the NLC this year is the fire of thunder.

SirBunky85:
you're the silly one in this instance. You hated Sim cuz of wike now,same you love Sim and hate wike.you must be a confused being without stand

You're still not getting it.

I do not love Sim.

I dislike Wike...

Even if Abacha or Hitler is fighting Wike today, I will support the former.

Get that into your meaty head.

SirBunky85:
more to come from where? You all can keep hearing on wike but it's inconsequential cuz,he has made his political smart choice of supporting A presidential candidate he knows had the possibility of winning. You all think that wike would've attacked Atiku the way he did if he knows that Tinubu wouldn't win?you hate wike cuz of Obi who doesn't know if you exist or not. Same Obi who is now an errand boy to the most brutal president Nigeria ever had(OBJ) anyway, keep waiting for Fubara to strike.

Stop being silly...

I hate Wike not because of Obi.

I hate Wike because of what he did in the election between Obi's votes and Tinubu's votes.

Understand that and get that clear.

And again I repeat, all prominent politicians are loved by some and hated by some.
Wike is not an exception.

You all take him as your god and role model and so expect all and sundry to live him.
NO.!

No matter how much of a God you make him for yourself, some of us still see him as a very corrupt, incredible, deceitful politician and no doubt one of the problems of this country today.

You have your right to love him and kiss his ass,
And I reserve my right to loathe and disgust him.

SirBunky85:
your support or otherwise is inconsequential. You don't love Fubara, you only hate Wike and Tinubu. During the elections, most of you,emergency Fubara "lovers" were calling Wike all sorts of names just because he supported Fubara. Wike took all the bullets to make him the governor and now,you support Fubara because, he has issues with wike. I'm glad,Fubara has gotten back to his senses

You're quite correct..

Firstly, there are really no Fubara lovers, we all are Wike haters.
No pretences about that.

Secondly Wike was called all sorts of names not for supporting Fubara but for the way he used thugs and security personnels to seize Peter Obi's votes and allocate them to Tinubu.

Thirdly Wike and his fans have seen that there is no genuine love for him outside Obio Akpor.
He thought he had all Rivers people in his heart and pockets simply because he controlled 40 billion naira monthly Rivers finances.
Now he has seen that he is nothing special, the same way the sycophants who left Odilli and Amaechi to run after him for their pockets, is the same way they will leave him and run after their next meal ticket.
He is even lucky he got an appointment under the APC government, if not by now he won't even see 5 people around him if Tinubu had not appointed him.

In summary, if you think the feud is over, then you are naive.
Wike would never forgive Fubara for obeying him only because Tinubu waded in.
It means Fubara listened to Tinubu not Wike.

There is much more to come!

No b land wey u don buy finish b this?

I can’t laugh ooooo

Shebi na u igbos get d land


This news sweet my belle die

Which one be DatNiggaDaz again?

The only part that gets my interest is the part
"Sanwo Olu is seen as a weakling"

In this Zoo called Nigeria, anyone who seems calm, gentle and democratic is seen as a weakling.

While the ones who are brash, corrupt, use thugs, intimidate and kill people are seen as correct and tough political gurus.

RIP Aketi.

ElSudani:
Is it mandated by the constitution that he must be sworn in right after the passing of the governor much like in case of the U.S president?
If not, since he is already the acting governor, I think he should have declared a few days of mourning then announce the swear in date after that.
The haste in taking the position doesn't sit down well with me as a person.

OlujobaSamuel:

Yes, immediately it's confirmed that there is no capacity to continue, he takes over

I had thought so as well.
He was already acting governor based on the fact that the governor had no "capacity" to continue.
Technically he was already governor!

So why the hurry to get him sworn in as substantial?

I could understand the hurry if everything was normal and a sitting governor was in office and suddenly died and there was no power handover.
Then there would be need to swear in immediately.
I understand there must be no vaccum.

But this case is different, he was already "governor"

Does the constitution spell it out this way,?
Or was there another lacuna and so the state had to assume that he must be sworn in immediately?

Take heart Madam Aketi.

One never knows how it hurts to lose a much loved one till it happens to them.


May the soul of the departed rest peacefully.

ppogba:


You should have said that instead of telling us he waited patiently.

Free the guy abeg..

Before he will soon declare Tinubu as omnipotent.

Again!

Another randy Nigerian man on the loose!!

"Is that Philip?"

"Gani who?"

This shameless old fool should goan eat Amala abeg and stop making nonsense comments.

Which one be resign?
Aketi's death meant his resignation was sancrosanct.
He should stop forming fake loyalty.

He was a personal staff to Aketi not a commissioner or civil servant FFS.

mastermaestro:
Some sense of decency should prevail. Why in a rush to announce new appointments on the same day/week you announced the death of your former principal? Some actions are preposterous.

Pretend to mourn for some days, at least. Reserve all appointments and announcements until the New Year which is just a few days away. Quite unfortunate.

Nice post.

tollyboy5:

If you're not pleased then move out to the so called sane society

Such comment is very typical of people who are impoverished, hungry, unemployed, under employed (collecting 40k a month), lacking quality accommodation and health care.

I pity your generation.

fortunez1:
Wike is never or has never been a chop alone, get that into ur soft skull, maybe that's why he wins all fight or challenge. He is a good political calculator and a good administrator

Yes he has never been a chop alone.

He chopped with the big men and let the poor men continue to wallow in poverty.

He chopped with those who would propel his political career, he chopped with judges too.


He wins all challenges,,,

Yeah,, we all saw how he thrashed Atiku at the 2023 PDP presidential primaries and how his candidate thrashed Atiku at the 2019 PDP presidential primaries as well.

person!
