Rivers State: No Reason Peace Can’t Be Restored with My Boss – Fubara




Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has suggested that peace could soon return between him and his political mentor and predecessor, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Fubara expressed optimism about reconciliation, saying there’s no reason peace shouldn’t exist between him and his "Oga" — a term he used to refer to Wike. Their relationship deteriorated soon after Fubara assumed office in 2023, leading to political tensions that disrupted key state institutions, including the House of Assembly.

As the conflict escalated and posed a security threat, President Bola Tinubu imposed a six-month state of emergency in the state and installed a Sole Administrator to oversee governance.

Despite his suspension, Fubara met with President Tinubu and Wike in a bid to resolve their differences. Following the meeting, Wike referred to Fubara as his "son," indicating a possible thaw in their relationship.

In a video message to his supporters, Fubara reaffirmed his commitment to peace:
“There’s no reason why peace shouldn’t exist between me and my Oga. We need peace for Rivers State to progress.

I appeal to everyone — people say I’m not a politician, but I don’t know what qualifies one as such. What matters most is earning respect, not demanding it. I want your respect through service, not authority. Feel free to correct me when I’m wrong.

We must support each other. I am fully with you,” he said.

Labour Party Lawmakers as an Appendage to APC Majority Lawmakers: A Huge Question Mark on Peter Obi’s Leadership

Image
  The Labour Party (LP) made an unprecedented impact in the 2023 general elections, largely due to the influence of Mr Peter Obi and the Obidient movement. Before then, it was almost unthinkable for a third-force party to achieve significant electoral success in Nigeria. However, against all odds, the LP secured eight senatorial seats and 34 seats in the House of Representatives as of March 7, 2023. Among those elected were individuals from humble backgrounds, including a former commercial motorcyclist and a motor park loading agent, further reinforcing the movement’s appeal to ordinary Nigerians. Labour Party’s Crisis and the Loss of Legislative Influence To the disappointment of many supporters, the Labour Party is currently experiencing severe internal disarray. At least one senator and five members of the House of Representatives have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Even more concerning is that the remaining LP lawmakers in the National Assembly appear ...

Forbidden Flames.... Torchlight for Twilight.

By Ogbu A.M. The traffic buzzed outside their Lekki apartment as Emeka sat quietly in the living room, his eyes fixed on his phone, though his mind was miles away. Lagos had a way of wearing people out—but nothing had worn him down like what he’d just learned. His best friend, Charles, had dropped the bomb casually while they shared beers at a bar in Victoria Island. "Guy, I no dey try cause wahala, but I think say you suppose know wetin your wife dey do. Ngozi talk say Chioma dey knack her oga for office. That Ndubisi guy." It had hit Emeka like a slap. For days, he pretended he hadn’t heard it. But now, as he watched Chioma humming in the kitchen, moving gracefully like nothing was wrong, he knew Charles wasn’t lying. Her phone was always face-down. Late meetings. A new perfume. The soft smile she had when she texted someone she wouldn’t name. And then there was Ngozi—Chioma’s younger sister. She had moved in temporarily while job-hunting, according to Chioma. Young, v...
