RIVERS STATE CRISIS: STATE OF EMERGENCY:

The President in his address to the Nation today declared State of Emergency in Rivers State. I was Shocked on hearing this cos I’m currently in Rivers State and there’s not been any disruptions of the General Peace and Governance, No Wars or Violent crisis ongoing!.
So why then should there be State of emergency and the President Suspending the Governor and the House of Assembly Members who are also all elected to serve.

When I first heard this news I added an update to @Cossyblacks thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5533855.0  but I opened this thread to discuss the ABUSE of our Laws and Constitution.

I got talking with my friend who is a practicing lawyer and he had this to say based on the Law and Constitution;-

1. President has powers to declare state of emergency. S. 305(1)

2.State of emergency doesn't extend to taking over administration of the state, by S. 305 of the constitution.

3.The crisis in Rivers State has not led to the situation provided in S. 305(3) of the constitution

4.Suspending Governors and Lawmakers in a state and appointing a sole administrator is unconstitutional.

In the case of - A.G. Plateau State v. Goni (2007) 16 NWLR (Pt. 1055) 1 Court said:
1. A state of emergency does not justify the removal of elected officials.
2. The court stated further that the President lacks the power to remove a governor or dissolve a state assembly.

So How come now we are hearing this from the President, from where is he getting his Authority?
Where are all the National Law makers, SAN, and Chief Judges and the likes who are supposed to uphold our Constitution?.
Why are they silent?
Are they trying to get Rivers State under their thumb by any means Necessary?.
What is this MESS they’re about to create in Rivers State and Nigeria?.

The Country has become a Colossal Joke since the APC took over now it’s WORSE

Omor forget about that foolish man wey call himself president, very old thing wey don loose his Sense, is state of emergency the best opinion for river state? Tinubu is a father to Nigeria, he is supposed to settle the difference between this foolish man wike and our governor fubara, but instead ehh go do ehh  foolish thing, all in the name to be re-elected again as president for the second time.

make I see where this there foolishness go carry them go, if now wike get river state we go know or if now river state wike we go still know, if as old as Tinubu himself no fit do things the right all in the name trying protect his interest of become the president for the second time, that shows how foolish he is.

Well a politician will always be a politician, nothing good dey always come out from them, foolish people.

The president has shown to the world that he didn't win 2023 election .in fact that man is not suit to be the president president of Nigeria
How can he just wake up and declare state of emergency in rivers state when there is no crisis in the state just to tell us that he has been working with wike to distablise the peace in the state.nigeria is such a lawless country because what the president did is abuse of power and the funny thing is the judiciary that is supposed to be the hope of common Nigeria is even the most corrupt sector.with this kind president we are heading no were as country and as a nation

I said the same thing too, how can he declare a state of emergency when there is no crisis in the state. I haven't heard from any part of rivers State that there is war and I wonder what the president is thinking, the country is a joke and werey as proven that he is not competent enough to be a leader and the annoying part is that there's nothing we (citizens) can do about the situation, this is purely a conspiracy between the president and wike just to take our existing governor and his deputy out of the office to enable wike and his cohorts do what to want to do in Rivers State. Even till now I'm still in shock of why there is a state of emergency in Rivers State for no reason.

 You talk well Op. By right, presido no suppose suspend the democratically elected governor and him deputy because that go be unconstitutional but as e be the country no look like one wey dey follow the rules and regulations enshrined in the constitution.
As e be them dey only apply the law when e suppose favor them. This mata na somtin wey consan Wike and Fubara but I shock say I no hear the FCT Minister name for the whole ruckus instead nah the fact say Fubara dey rule the country with impunity.
 The way the whole thing dey look e be kind say nah Wike get Nigeria and Tinubu dey work for am because this him announcement no make sense.
Since State of Emergency don dey occur after the country get their independence, this nah the first time a governor dey dey suspended and even though them give six months, I no sure say e go last till that time.

I was shocked when I first heard about the declaration of state of emergency in Rivers State, before I knew it then follows the suspension of the state governor and the members of the house for a period of 6 months, now this morning, I was hearing another sad news about arresting Funeral the state governor, for allegedly going against the president directives, what is happening.

Am not against the final directive from the President, but he wouldn't have join hands with Wike just to ensure that they both pull down this man called Fubura, remember he was his secretary when he was governor, then Wike nominate Fubura to office and now everything turns around that his servant couldn't listen or obey his directives being a godfather, this is all about money, the money allocation Wike is demanding from Fubura is too much to cope with, there is where the problem began.

Now consider the side of the President, he wouldn't have been this bias because the world is already aware of what is happening and there's no media conviction they can use to fake us on the reality on this matter, I will also blame Fubura because the moment the president suspended him, he wouldn't have made a decision of going close to the government house or any other government property till the whole thing is calm, I hope this does not start the eruption of war in Rivers State between their factions, remember they all belong to PDP while Wike supports APC and not his party.

Guys be getting ready because this will affect everyone of us in the country, militants are causing explosions already on the pipelines, we are seeing the videos already, which signifies the beginning of war, as this will cause a little or major distortion on the petroleum supply from the region, we may experience fuel scarcity or hike in price, plan yourself ahead and get prepared for the worse, while in expectations for better days.

Mr President has violated the constitution in declaring state of emergency Rivers state where there is no war or tension, its a political hegemony between two father and Sim, and one would aspect the President to play  a neutral roles in dealing with the issue. but Mr President took side with the minister to frustrate   the Governor.  in amidst of the crises the Governor has been peaceful and respectful to the rules of law. He even signed a peace accord with the president for peace to reign yet the minister wike keep making troubles and the President failed to address wike, rather he blame Sim for the political crisis in the state.

There is no war that warrant the declaration of state of emergency, Porth court  and all part of the state are in peace, the world should know wike and Mr president are the problem not sim. They are interested in the wealth of the state, and since sim can not share with them, they want to do  everything to remove him. If his decision is not reverse by the National Assembly then am afraid that the military will declare coup in Nigeria because the president has just violated the constitution.

You don hear of the statement "like father, like son?" That nah wetin Fubara try to do. Remember say Wike nah bullheaded person and imagine say nah him dem give this directive, him go wan find way cause kasala. I no dey in support of wetin the governor of Rivers state do o because two wrongs no dey ever make a right but if you look am, he was unfairly treated and just because him no gree continue to dey do "yes sire" to Wike nai make all this mata don cast like this and again, if say Fubara cool down study the whole thing him for know say such a thing go hit because it's as if Tinubu dey eat right out of the palm of Wike (allegedly o ).
 Make we see weda the foreign bodies wey dey like chook mouth for our mata go look into this one.

He did not violated any law, because he is the Commander in Chief of Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but I can agree with you that the state of affairs has not gotten to that stage of declaring suspension, though the peaceful protest eventually turned into violence and things like this can escalate to cause a serious concern to the state as innocent citizens maybe affected at most.


Father like son indeed, or maybe we should say it's the law of karma fighting Fubura, do you remember who he was to Amaechi then, and turned to be a spy to Wike unknowingly to Amaechi and they ended getting through with their evils by Fubura betrayal to his master Amaechi, then turned Wike son out of evil conceit, now he want to avoid godfatherism, I left in Chinese  ;D

Na Nigeria we dey were the law is only applied to the masses. I don't even know such is happening in this our country until I came across it here. With all what I later read online, do you think the people of the state will just let it go that way. I don't think Governor Siminalayi Fubara have said anything till now. Since this is unconstitutional, let's see what happens within the state in some days now.

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/03/19/0pnc3.png
The thing wey dey surprise me na the way the suspended house of assembly members for Rivers State welcome the state of emergency. The thing make me remember one Jehovah's Witness book wey talk about the story of King Solomon and two women. Solomon bin judge the case very well, so I hope say King Tinubu go handle this mattter wella.

This is what hunger for power and personal interest d cause in a country. Em d unfortunate that the beef between the former governor of River State the person of Wike and the present governor of River State "Fubara", is being sided one place by Tinubu. Which is not supposed to be so. A sitting president no suppose to be one sided in his judgement between Wike and Fubara. What Tinubu should have done was to call Wike go order. To remove himself for Fubara matter, to focus on the ministerial position wey em give am for Abuja. That would have sounded better than being in full support of Wike to continue with his stupidity.

Now, this matter done turn to another thing. Nigeria is becoming a country of lawlessness that sitting president will wake up one morning to remove a elected governor. What a joke as a country.

 all this rescality na just testing of microphone on what they hope to do in the next two presidential election.

The agenda de very simple. Tinibu wan run for second tenure and him need wike to make that happen, wike still get plan to succeed tinibu and so they need to start working together before time. if fubara continue to show that he's stubborn and can take over rivers politics, wike will become irrelevant which will affect his ambition for presidency. These and the refusal of fubara to carry on with the selfish agreement he must have made with wike is what has brought us to this point.

Because of their selfish interest, dem no get a single regard for the law or to follow due process. Even the blast of the Bodo axis that's connected to the refinery which the president made reference to in his speech, make e no surprise you say na them still plan all those things out. Even the whole wike's visit to Alabama, na still for the same reason of provoking fubara and the ijaws to anger so if they resort to violence, the president can use that as his reason for this state of emergency.

We de for a lawless country where once personal interest comes in, the law can be twisted to suit that interest and the judiciary are as useless as they've always been and that's why they can't stand against this orchestrated Corp that has been mated not just against fubara but against the whole rivers State and Nija delta region. In the whole history of a presidential reckless decision, no one don pass this nonsense when tinibu conspire with wike to do.

What he did is violation whether he’s GCFR or not, there’s no where in the Constitution that gives him such rights and power and even though he has the authority to declare state of emergency, what’s happening in Rivers State does not fall under the provisions stated in the constitution S (305) that he quoted.
Some people might say there’s vandalism of pipelines but that doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction or protection of the State Governor cos it’s a Federal Property and the Federal is paying a security Agency for that.

There’s absolutely NO REASON for a State of Emergency, this jus goes to Prove how our democracy has shattered, everybody who is supposed to disapprove or fight this has been bought over, the PDP that are trying to fight it well I don’t think they have the manpower or will to win it.(THEY are not United enough)
Let’s just see how it plays out and Pray for PEACE.

This case we are seeing will not be that fair because in this story about the two women the king wasn't into favoritism or siding one person but he only wanted to no whom is actually the real mother which is why he use the dividing method and the most resisting became acknowledged by the king to be the  original owner of the child, so for this rivers issue instead of the king to act like one he is even making it impossible to be resolved, so this is to say he is not into the real owner but instead he wants the third party to claim the home of another so he cannot be trusted for a good judgment.

State of emergence in Rivers State, suspension of Gov. Fubara, others unconstitutional – NBA warns general Tinubu https://nnnewsmedia.com/state-of-emergence-in-rivers-state-suspension-of-gov-fubara-others-unconstitutional-nba-warns-general-tinubu/

I don't understand what type of democracy we are practicing in Nigeria  since emi lo kan got into power,he has turned democracy upside because of his quest for  and his ambition, which Democratic setting does these, in his time as Lagos state governor,he had issues with Obasanjo that led to the state allocation sized for months,but he was not removed until the issue was settle, now he brought in a military personnel to take over River state, if Military are wise, now is the best time to take over, once a military is always a Military, they don't need a cop anymore, since this Regime is disgracing Democracy.
What are the South-South doing, such a thing has not been done before, we have always been cheated and Marginalized where the major resources of the country is coming from.

The illegal sole administrator has been sworn in to power by a dictator General Tinubu, this is a mess to out democracy where did the president derived such power from to sworn in a sole administrator after his illegal declaration of state of emergency by sacking elected Governor of a state.  The NBA and all the senior citizens has criticized the illegal declaration yet the president has giving deaf ears to our cries. This declaration and sworn in ahs set a bad antecedent for our nation, every President can suspend a sitting Governor and nothing will happen, we are to weak and fearful in this country that is why the government can take any decision for free and nothing will happen, the citizens has no voice again, they have silent our voices by impoverished the citizens.


The National Assembly that people was hoping for to vote and stop the declaration all supported the government declaration of state of emergency in Rivers state, and i keep telling people what they expect from senate and speaker Tinubu hand pick, they are all the same people. Nigeria is in wrong  hands, no hope for our democracy.

Deciding to make Rivers state a state without a Governor for 6 months without giving it any second thought is prove that the current federal government is not a government for the people but for a selected RICH few
Declaring a state of emergency without the constitutional reasons is proof that the government doesn't care much for the constitution of the country
Appointing a formal chief of naval staff as sole administrator of the state is yet another proof that the government has no regards for the democratic state of the nation.

This your comparison is really funny how can you compare a wise king like Solomon to a selfish and greedy president.Tinubu is the worst president since the creation of Nigeria, Abacha appears to be a saint when compared to tinubu ,He should be liken to Nebuchadnezzar in the bible an not king Solomon.book haram and bandits has been killing innocent Nigerians in the north,he didn't thought it wise to declare state of emergency in those states.It is river state that is peaceful and calm that he decided to declare state of emergency because of his greed and quest for power .

A State without nonstop crisis shouldn't be declared as a State of Emergency. What is the meaning of that, is he Bola Ahmed Tinubu should interfere in River State politics. This is one thing that I dislike with the Yoruba. They don't have respect and let other States run their political affairs the way it suits them. I could remember when Buhari was in power, he didn't support Ameachi's actions publicly.

 My own issue no be even the state of emergency wey him set up, nah the fact say him gats go carry an administrator wey no be Rivers person come put for seat. E no really clear for eye wetin the presido wan try achieve with all this but personally I feel say this suspension him give a seated governor no make sense at all. By far the worst breach of constitutional rights and no body dey wan correct am say e no suppose be nai dey vex me. Wetin the lawmakers dey do kwanu. Abi all nah yes-men full there?

Please you have to explain more in details here from where Wike stand is, you can't just omit the major perpetrator of these and expect the story story to be complete, I can see the Rivers State, Tinubu, Fubura, but where is Wike, because if you could remember well, this story is all about father and son, also remember that what goes around becomes around, honestly the same thing that happened to the Amaechi is not a table shaker returning same to the betrayer, Oga Wike, please explain your diagram more as this is getting more exciting.

Your right Buhari is a good leader, he never supported any evil plan by the Apc leaders in Rivers state. He always want the right things to be done regardless the party that is involved, Ameachi was Buhari first son but yet they never create any crises to warrant state of emergency in the state.

i think Wike and Tinubu share same attributes, they are very desperate politicians and will do anything to protect their interests even if is to disobey the constitution. That is what is happening now in Rivers state, just because of wike interest Tinubu has illegally declared state of emergency where there is no war or breakdown of law and order.  I keep telling people that Nigeria is a mess and nobody should hope it will get better any time soon. The Yoruba leaders are always acting like a dictator, that is how Obajanso illegally removed Ekiti state governor then when he was a president, just for  political reasons. They always set bad antecedent for this country. Don't be surprised Tinubu will seek for third term constitution Amendment and it will goes through because he control the Assembly 100%

When every sane arm of government has been bought over in other for them to keep a blind eye what do you expect??? The Governor of the state has done nothing wrong. The judiciary cannot even do anything about it because at the initial time when they would have upheld justice they didn't so what sanctimonious preaching will they give this time?? When they were supposed to do the right thing by Nigeria was after the election when Peter Obi took the case of misconduct of election to court and even with all the fool proof evidence that was presented these people looked at Nigerians in the eyes and still lied. There's nothing they can do now, they've been bought over and they dare not stand by the truth. Let's not even talk about the Senate,  people that cannot investigate a simple sexaul assault allegations and just ruled whatever they liked is it the same people that'll stand by the truth?? The truth is the people of Rivers state are not fools for keeping quite the Governor has assured them of going through the right path regarding this case and they are willing to give it a try anybody that experienced how rough Rivers State was in 2005-2009 will not want the Rivers people to even think of violence cause their own is just too much and they'll push it to the extreme. Only God can save this country

See reason why I hate politics, today them go smile eat together tomorrow then go become enemies. Just because  SIM no wan play to Wike tune nai the whole thing come be like say na disrespect or SIM pour am spit for him face. Person wey no want to do things your way become your enemy. Wike like make people dey under am, I like am oh but when him rule as governor nobody worry am to do as him want this SIM man to do instead na him dey give other political parties and members headache and now him say make him allow the traditional rulers (I think) to do their thing and make Sim say him no go contest for election in 2027 na only when peace go dey, which kind act be that?
I just hope say e no go pass like this becos from how e be so Wike nai dey pinch the president to take this hot actions if not I no see any reason why the president go decide immediately as if when problem happen for Lagos them bring in state of emergency, and other states with similar issue their governors dey in office why River State?

I no even understand waiting them do there because I no no whether them they tell us say we no get a credible leader way suppose stay there till all this disagreement finishes, we get so many of them even those way done rule as governor before some of them still they and they are very competent but because of waiting them they target them go put person way them like, that state way that man come from no sabi how Rivers they do there things, so this thing just they like when they carry somebody way no they hear English go put for people way only speak English, however the six months fit reach and the president still add another months again.

Bro Sim fubara disrespect Wike well well,you see something about politics, loyalty dey very very important to your godfather's, you must be very loyal to your godfather's wey put you for power. Bro, Wike offend so many of his political friends just to please Sim fubara,Wike pass through Hell,fough political gladiator just to put fubara as Governor and at the end of the day Sim fubara turn against Wike. Wike and Sim fubara had an agreement and Sim fubara accepted and swore to keep that agreement before wike made him his successor and now Sim fubara refuses to keep to that agreement. Wetin make Sim fubara go accept to enter agreement with his godfather's - Wike for the first place. The truth is that Sim fubara betrayed Wike his godfather by labeling him an enemy of the State. The Same Sim fubara isn't a saint,abi you go tell me say Sim fubara never dey embezzle Rivers State funds since him enta power as Governor or abi him work pass Wike for the state.I no say na Rivers people go suffer am but bro e good say make you no enta agreement wey you no go fit keep to the terms and conditions bcos e go back fire. Sim fubara and Wike are same people,both of them are greedy and dirty in politics but make we also remember say Sim fubara for no fit win election for the state if no be for Wike. Rivers people vote For Sim fubara bcos of their Love for  Wike and now Sim fubara won turn Rivers people against Wike.

Furthermore,who tell you say Wike no face  troubles when him be Governor,you know how many times when former Governor Rotimi Amaechi don try to remove am from power using federal influence,you no the kind battle wey Wike be fights during buhari administration.

This is politics and for politics Dem no dey play fair. You supposed no say Rivers State dey for radar and Mr President needs Rivers State Resources and vote to secure victory in the upcoming election. I dey vex for the Governor, the Governor supposed remain loyal and gain ground before challenging  his god father, him supposed learn from Ambode of Lagos mistakes. Now na Akwa ibom man dey rule Rivers State as military administrator because of the Governor pride and some kind wrong advice him dey received from bad advisors. Na wey Dem don suspend as Governor,shey Dem don leave am. I pray make peace restore fully for the state because political unrest like this dey hinder development and dey discourage investors from doing business in the State.

The current political crisis in Rivers state I think has been long planned before now, even before the president of the federation suspended a sitting governor for 6 months which some persons are saying it’s not in the constitutional power of the president to do so. One man who is at the center of the current political turmoil in Rivers state is a friend to the senate president, also a friend and trusted ally to the president of the federation, he’s also a friend to the chief judge of the federation, what then do you expect will happen in a situation like this for a nation with high level of corrupt leaders, these are people who meet everyday and even at night to have fun together, they will agree on what to do even before they come on air to announce their intentions to the general public, we the public can only lament but they are already bent on doing that which they have secretly agreed on, and even the court can’t go otherwise because they are in charge. Like my friend will always say that it’s called court of law and not the court of truth.

Disrespect? It can happen but no forget say Wike do all him do just to put person wey him go fit control for that government house and SIM na the right person, make we no confusion ourself here, if nah you wey don see hell for that position you go like make sure say you still get hands for that same position and you no go want make power comot from your hand make those people you no play to their tune no get that position and use am against you then laugh you join. Wike na man wey no like when people dey control am but him wan control other people and you know say e no go work like that, so if him want Sim to be loyal to him e go take time no be like immediately. If na agreement all politicians go sign am as long as them get wetin them want so leave the terms and conditions, politics have to do with men wey greedy.
See eh me I no too like any of them oh but when Amaechi enter na WIKE influence and we know how e be, one no gree for the other as Wike finally enter you no go expect Amaechi to sit and enjoy the whole thing without doing him back, guy we know say politics na do me I do you.

My vexation is that amidst of all the condemnation by everyone reasonable Nigerians for the declaration of illegal state of emergency in Rivers state the president has refused yk lift the illegal declaration.  Its obvious the president is only interested in the wellbeing of his political associates and nothing more.  Its just so pathetic that we're not making any progress since independent our leaders has been violating the constitution without respect for rule of law. We expected Mr president who claimed  to the a democratic activist to show show respect for the constitution. Instead he has a set a precedent that will affect us tomorrow, by this declaration it means the next president can suspend any Governor that is against him without following due processes. This is a slap on the Nigeria democracy and constitution. Mr president further released allocation for the illegal sole administrator to run the state , he released Allocation without proper budget.  Omo its finished Nigeria has no future ahead.

We know what is happening behind the scenes, but it is assumed that the President declared a state of emergency so that the conflicting parties will find some common ground and settle their differences. Everyone is watching out for what will happen after six months. Will the governor come back or will there be an extension? Will he be impeached illegally or allowed to finish his tenure? Let's see if the president will be as wise as Solomon.

In the picture Wike's camp is represented by Martins Amewhule and other Rivers law makers.

What would they do about those other appointed bodies that was dissolve to face another election for the purpose of local government powers to change hands? , however is it legal that the election will be conducted on the absence of the person who was supposed to be the government?, because that's what I think they would do because they would be feeling that if Sim is on the power he will disrupt them from there manipulation of results, so let's see if they would do that because there is nothing our leaders cannot do to either win or give another person power to rule.

Once it comes to political issues like this, we all know that there are many controversial issues that are always associated to things like this which may not be visible to the public, but they actually know within themselves about what is happening even though they cant come out openly to make a declaration about it, i will appreciate that we learn from all these, no one is to be trusted in politics and there is no permanent friend or enemy as well in this dirty game, no wonder some will never agree to go into politics, because they know what is at stake.

We’ all know how all of this is happening and who is making all of this happen and the one person who sold out Rivers states is Wike the chief architect of all the crisis in the state, One of the problems we have in Nigeria is Godfatherism in our politics. The house of assembly members are working with Wike and they all know everything that is going on behind the scenes. There Oga is the one making all of this things happen in the states. We all still know that Wike is only interested where it will favour him and Tinubu can’t do anything against one of his minister and someone who works for him. Nigerian politics is all about interest and Tinubu also have his interest in Rivers State he is also thinking about 2027, but the house of assembly members, the people of Rivers states are disappointed for what Tinubu have done by dissolving an elected government. All Rivers people are also disappointed in Wike and his house of assembly boys

I don't think this state of emergency will end soon, i believe after the six months the FG will still extend it to another six months. Because the sole administrator has appointed secretary of state Government today. After the head of service resigned. interesting days ahead in Rivers state, at the end Rivers state people we suffer more. The state resources will be share among the bad leaders and the state will suffer a step backward in everything.

state of emergency that Nigerian Bar Association, Labour congress, former presidents, journalists and opinion leaders has openly criticized. Yet the president do not want to reconsider the illegal state of emergency in Rivers state. Rivers state is very peaceful even the illegal sole administrator confirmed it in his opening speech. So there was no need of emergency in Rivers state. We all know its political undertone and not for the best interest of the state.

Well RIVERS STATE crisis has been escalating since December 2023 when governor Fubara ordered the demolition of the state house of assembly complex which still dates it still remain unrebuilt the state system of checking and balancing, well if you look closely president decisions that was made was uncertain and unnecessary and potentially motivated, particularly given is connectivity to minister of the federal capital territory Nyesom wikes who accused of been the mastermind of the crisis, it was unconstitutional for the removal of an elected governor intact under some emergency rules this is really an potential for abuse of powers suspended an governor and appointing an military administration which could be seen as an attempted to consolidate federal power.

To be precise, what is happening in River State is a matter of Godfatherism.

The former governor and the present (now temporarily out of power) were close parties, the present did boy-boy to get in power before trying to make the rules by himself, it was an agreement to do as was said by the Godfather, failure to obey cost the whole drama being displayed. If we look closely, the election won by the present may not have been won justly, channels were involved and everything was concealed by both parties, nothing further than this will be disclosed, a good political enthusiast can  tell the ways. 

That is why i don't support any side, either Sim or wike, because Wike almost kill other aspirants just to project sim ambition to be Governor. Wike lock many people up who stood against sim during the election. no body was even talking because if you talk wike will come for you, it was full force on the people.

Today same wike is during everything to destroy sim, he has done everything to finish sim, and he will succeed because sim is too quite and doesn't have the political will to defend fight wike. Everything is all about power and control of the finance of Rivers state nothing more. by the time Sim and wike is done Rivers state will suffer more. its so annoying how this politics has destroy the image of the state and economy , greed and wickedness of wike is just too much. so sim si paying for wike sin on Rivers people.

I have always been saying it that politicians are very greedy especially in Nigeria were politics is all about personal interests to them alone. I know it will surely come to this extent because it's has always been their plans to declare state of Emergency just to unseat Sim fubara who have been hindering them for so long,clearing him from the way will give them easy passage to starts looting the state resources. Our Elders use to say when two Elephants start fighting the grass will suffer the most. This parables is exactly what's is happening now in Rivera State,this battle between Wike and Sim fubara is nothing but a fight for absolute control of power in the state and this has slow developments,chase potential investors from the States. Like who's wanna invest his money in a war zone,the truth is that the people are the ones suffering the most from this fight. Now that the military have taken control of power in the state with the tasks to restore peace,all projects in the state have now been put to holds and we don't even know if this military administrator will even launch any useful projects in the state. Let's see if his puppet master will pull the strings very well by controlling him to governing state without causing any chaos. You heard me right,the Military administrator is a puppet that will always do the bidding of his masters,he is no different from a slave serving his masters. I fear what Rivers State will become during his reign. May God help us all

That is where we see politics in the country, people don't get the offices by vote count, those who have the best connections take over from the incumbent power. Wike was the sole projector of that election, Sim hadn't won by votes cast, it was under manipulation and like they say," what goes around comes around". Even with how Sim won the election, i think he is a better governor that we all want to see in power, with the little time he has, things has been stress free and daily routines goes on far better than when Wike was in power.

While we are discussing a different subject here, rumors were circulating as of yesterday, i won't state according but will drop the link (https://dailypost.ng/2025/03/29/wike-did-not-slump-in-abuja-lere-olayinkaacc) for anyone who wants to review.

Sim was forced on Rivers state people by wike and things are not well with them again, its a karma in action. The only issue is that the people suffer most, no  investors will be happy to invest in a state without a democratic government.  The crises between father and son, is really down on Rivers state economy and at large Nigeria.

sim few days in Office is better than wike 8years. he allows easy governance he was not controlling people and getting involve with things  that are not for the best interest of the people, the state was very peaceful and welcoming for investors. But this crisis has destroyed everything and i do not thing Sim will be call back again. Tinubu has capture the state economy has he always wanted to do, by the time they are done with Rivers state nothing will remain for the people again.

Na the country wey we Dey so, laws no Dey longer apply again, e Dey work by who they like na dem go Favour and if you Dey also do as they want, them go also Favour you, na e be why the state of emergency and how the assembly take welcome am no surprise me at all and anything can happen but why I like fubara be say e no Dey rush the matter, e Dey handle am with gentleness and calmness but no mean say the man no Dey deadly o but e no want make ‘‘em action no affect the citizens na why just as the story of Solomon and the two women be.

Who he won rush. There is little he can do in a lawless country like this. Abi, he won they fight baba?  This country need serious amendment. These are part of the reason why the country no dey move forward.

This drama dey clear, Wike wey been dey fight against Amaechi back then say make him no sell out Rivers State don already dey plan to sell the place wey him dey protect if not, wetin Federal power get to do with this matter wey no sound too much like that wey them suppose agree make the matter mo come out after all na money matter. Wike just want to dey for wherever him dey with him post dey control Rivers State which is bad and make una no expect Tinubu to solve this matter the wey we think unless Sim them go agree on something before e go be as if say them don settle.
