The system has always been if you can't win them you join, fubara realize he can't win but joining them , many lessons to learn about fubara is to avoid starting what you can't finish because it will be a wasted efforts, time and energy and resources also, secondly to fight your master is dangerous mostly when you have not master all the secret of your master, in today many able politicians in Rivers state have loss their life position and dream because of the fight, going back to your vomit is very bad he who fight and run away would have been the best if the governor has the integrity enough to prove himself, politics is all about self because fubara have more than enough to even quit than join back the cartel now his presenting budget according to the choice of what they demand rather than what the people want, all of this big figure are nothing but embezzlement fund which may be targeted on the up coming election.
I think the biggest lesson from the Fubara saga is that political battles are rarely just about principles; they are also about power, strategy, and knowing when you have enough leverage to fight. Starting a battle you cannot sustain can cost you far more than you expected.
That said, returning to the same political structure you once fought against raises serious questions about conviction and political integrity. If the struggle was genuinely about protecting the interests of Rivers people, then the public deserves to understand what exactly changed.
And the budget issue is even more important. Whether it is demanded by the political establishment or not, the priority should still be what benefits the people of Rivers State. Nigerians have seen too many huge budgets become opportunities for politicians to enrich themselves, especially when elections are approaching. The real test of Fubara now is not who he aligns with, but whether his decisions will genuinely serve the people rather than another political arrangement.
