Chai! My people, this one na serious political wahala wey dey happen for Rivers State! Minister Nyesom Wike don make am clear say Governor Siminalayi Fubara no go re-election for 2027. E talk say even if dem get N600 billion to throway for campaign, e no go help dem at all!
As Wike dey shake table, e accuse Fubara say e don break promise wey dem gree for peace meeting wey President Bola Tinubu organize last June. Wike say money no go fit save anybody for this politics, na the people get power.
“Abeg,” Wike yarn for Tai Local Government, “if dem like make dem gather money well well, we don beat people wey get money before, and we go still do am again. Na the people matter pass any cash!” E no fear to draw line for ground. E insist say political loyalty no be about financial muscles, but true support from the grassroots.
Wike don also demystify wetin go happen next time, as him don talk say his camp don ready to reclaim Rivers State. Na so the political tension don dey rise as Fubara and Wike dey fight wetin looks like political bad blood.
But no be only Fubara matter dey hot, oo! Wike don blast some lawmakers wey dey reject the Rivers State annual N100,000 Christmas bonus wey the government dey pay workers and pensioners. Dem talk say na unconstitutional, but Sirawoo, the Permanent Secretary, don clarify say all civil servants go receive am without gra-gra!
Wike no gree hear wetin the lawmakers dey talk. E don promise say every worker go feel the joy of this season, and him dey work strong to ensure dem get good welfare. Na only wahala go come if dem no keep to agreement!
Na for this New Year visit, Wike no miss am to throway shade for some people wey dey jibe am, especially one Senator. “Wetin you don do for Rivers State since you dey there? You dey call me semi-literate when I don become chairman, governor and minister?” E talk. Wetin you expect? Wike sabi how to represent himself well!
Matter don dey hot between Wike and Fubara, with him asserting say the peacemaking agreement no fit hold down. E call for unity among political players, say everybody fit benefit from Tinubu administration if dem dey work together.
As e dey stand, Rivers State politics dey shake as Wike don show say e still get control over wetin dey play for ground. Questions dey linger on how Fubara go fit survive for 2027 if trust no dey and every promise dey misplaced. The battle line don draw, and we go dey watch as the story unfold!
