During their last meeting for March, Tinubu invoke constitution like say na magic wand. Na why dem put retired naval chief Ibok-Ette Ibas to control the state, as if to say Nigeria dey play ‘who go manage better’. E no sweet for Fubara at all, as e dey stake plenty credibility and political loyalty with e predecessors.
Fubara doesn dey throw hints about wanting to reconcile with Nyesom Wike, wey be him political father wey now dey cruise as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. As e dey call for peace from him side, plenty people dey ₦uestion wetin go happen next. Dem dey wonder if this new meet with Tinubu go fit cool down the hot political soup or make am boil more.
Political analysts dey speculate say dis meeting fit bring some wey-say-wey, but we no sabi wetin una go call am until dem drop official statement. Na so e be, Rivers State dey run under serious federal watch, dey take raise eyebrows on top democracy and governance matter.
The whole nation dey focus as the tension plenty. E no clear as dis drama go end and wetin Fubara and Tinubu go fit yarn on top. For now, we go just dey shine eye as dem dey play with the future of politics for Nigeria.
