Omo, e don cast for Rivers State as Wike and Fubara dey throw hands like say dem dey for WWE! Nothing wey dem no go use do this time. Political gist don dey hot as tin get many layers. Na like say, if you follow this matter well, you go sabi say e get as e be.
Wike, wey be former governor and now Minister for FCT, don flex im muscles show as Fubara wey dey new for governor seat don begin waka im own way. Dem say na fallout between godfather and pikin wey no fit keep mouth shut. This matter don turn serious fight for power, loyalty and constitution level wey Tinubu dey balance like footballer wey no wan fall for pitch.
When Fubara take over for 2023, he just dey ride on Wike’s hard work, wey build strong political machine for Rivers. But as e don enter seat, Fubara don dey show say he no wan just dey follow Wike like shadow. E don start dey shuffle things, dey question wetin Wike don set, and even dey cut im access to money wey be Wike own.
For Wike, na serious gbege. For this Naija politics, once you hand over power, you suppose still dey control am, no be so? Now Fubara don begin dey stand for im own, na im dis one dey provoke wahala. Assembly wey dey follow Wike don dey raise eyebrow, and dey threaten to impeach Fubara and im deputy. Na wah!
The matter don reach stage wey Assembly don vote to start impeachment process, but judge wey dey court don halt am. While dem dey argue whether the accusations fit hold water or na wetin dem find for ground, the Assembly no send anybody as dem still dey move on, dey provoke court systems. E be like say dem wan turn Rivers House of Assembly to theatre.’
APC don shout foul play, say wetin Assembly dey do fit cause wahala for dem. Dem even talk say na legislative coup! Dem dey call for respect for court orders because if dem no stop, na dem go find demself for gbege wey no go sweet.
Wike no dey carry last for this matter. He don already tell Tinubu say he no go allow make anybody step on im toes. This matter don dey touch sensitive issues as supporters dey raise their shoulders. The President dey calculate how him go fit handle both Wike and Fubara, because Wike don deliver Rivers as a stronghold during election, and him no wan disturb that balance. Abeg, no be small wahala.
But to be fair, Fubara dey face big wahala too. Despite APC dey support am, na him versus Wike wey get long ties all through Rivers. E no easy to face godfather wey get loyalist wey dey ready to defend am. No be play no be small.
The tension don rise as Rivers State dey enter podcast for political discussions. PANDEF don enter the matter to mediate, but who no know say negotiations come get challenges? E no dey easy for dem to come on the same page when e be like say each party get their own agenda. Wike don make am clear say Rivers State na im turf and he go protect am with everything.
This matter don expose say power no dey come from just affiliation but strong connections. Wike don dey show say he go get am how e dey control Abuja as Minister, dey flex im influence. Na only God fit tell wetin go happen next, but one thing wey clear be say, 2027 elections don dey shine light for those dey hold power like say e go shine light on dem heads.
As we dey follow the gist, all eyes dey on who go win this political battle and how e go affect Rivers State and Naija at large. No be play, e go be big show!
