Abuja, Nigeria – As dem dey countdown to the end of Rivers State emergency rule on September 18, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd) don hold one important meeting with the big boys at the State House on Wednesday. E be like say na this meeting dey prepare ground for return of suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, but we never hear wetin dem discuss inside.
Since President Bola Tinubu don jet out on vacation, no official statement come talk about wetin happen for this meeting. But gist wey dey waka talk am say dem dey plan next steps for Rivers State. Make we shine our eyes – na dem wahala wey go show face for September 18, abi wetin you think? (You no fit enter house after dem collect your keys!)
Remember say this emergency rule come begin when Tinubu use Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution ya to suspend Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, and all the House of Assembly members. Na better wahala wey dem talk say dem dey prevent for the state, and dem carry Vice Admiral Ibas come manage the wahala during this tough time.
As Tinubu dey enjoy him 10-day vacation for Europe, he no go fit react to any gbege wey fit happen for Rivers. According to the body wey dey follow am, dem go waka around France and UK before he go come back to Nigeria.
This vacation no just dey for enjoyment alone o! Tinubu don dey implement some better policies wey dey push Nigeria forward. For the first eight months of 2025, non-oil revenue don hit N20.59 trillion, wey be 40.5% increase since last year. Na serious gbege o! (My guy, you fit buy better fufu now!)
On top health matter, Tinubu don shout say make all Ministries and Agencies implement mandatory health insurance. Him don dey try balance things so that government workers go benefit, but dem no go put business for wahala (talk about jaga jaga!).
For international matter, Tinubu don travel plenty, from Brazil wey him sign agreement on aviation and science, to Japan for that important TICAD9 conference wey be all about African development. Dis guy no dey rest at all! (Na so public leaders suppose dey behave, abeg!)
