Chai! Nigeria politics no go ever finish o! Rivers State don enter another gbege as Governor Siminalayi Fubara don dash enter All Progressives Congress (APC), and e don dey shake the table well-well for di state.

Since Fubara resume as governor after him six-month suspension, e don turn di heat up, especially as we dey waka closer to di 2027 elections. Dis one na serious wahala because na who get control of Rivers be di question wey dey fly around now. E be like say Wike, wey be former governor and still dey hold power for di state, no go fit control di narrative again, and dat one sweet some political observers.

We sabi say di political battle for Rivers no be anything new. Na old story wey dey revolve around power, influence, and who fit chop more from di state resources. But since Fubara don join APC, e don scatter all di plans wey Wike get to maintain him own grip on power as di big man.

Recent moves wey Fubara make, like him assurance say Rivers don ready to deliver 70 percent support for President Tinubu, no be small matter. Ita wan mean say na Fubara wey dey command di APC troops for Rivers now, and e don shift Wike from di centre of action.

In fact, while Wike dey try set him loyalists like George Kelly Alabo and Boma Iyaye for 2027 governorship, Fubara dey enjoy President Tinubu’s backing wey don make am feel like say him dey fly high now. Di former minister no dey rest o! Wike still dey push him influence any way wey e fit, but as e dey be now, na Fubara dey wear di crown.

Experts dey talk say all dis waka wey Fubara dey do to secure his position go need strong strategy, because e go still need to face opposition both for APC and outside di party. People like Dr. Chukwuma Chinwo don talk say di structure wey APC get go make it hard for anyone wey wan fight Fubara.

But make we no deceive ourselves; peace no be as e dey start. Di political atmosphere for Rivers dey hot and conflict fit burst anytime. Civil society leaders like Sunny Dada don talk say di kinda peace wey dey happen na just temporary, no be real reconciliation. Dem dey expect say as elections dey near, more wahala fit show face.

Fubara don make e clear say him don join APC to make sure im state dey move forward, and dat him as di new captain go ensure say every body follow am on dis new journey. But how e go fit manage all di old wounds between him and Wike? Na dis matter now be the topic wey dey make people dey ginger to see wetin go happen next.

As we dey enter 2027, na serious political drama wey go dey unfold for Rivers. E go be like show wey no one fit miss. Wetin we go see? Go Wike find way to come back? Or Fubara go solidify him position as di new political messiah for di state? E be like say we go need plenty popcorn for dis show!
