Jonathan is helping Fubara reach out to the President The President respects Jonathan being a former President Fubara will get back to his seat with or without Fubara's reconciliation with Wike. Once he decamps to APC, the state APC structure will be taken from Wike's hand and split equally between the two entity, or at best 60 to Wike and 40 to Fubara 1 Like |

The statements infers Abati's former wife likely approached Wike for money If that is true, it is difficult for Abati to say he is not aware From henceforth, Abati will likely take it easy on Wike 4 Likes |

Quite an insightful analysis. However, I still maintain my stand that Asiwaju should forgive Tinubu The President's rank of reliable lieutenants is depleting everyday I don't know how Sanwo Olu also planned to pull Obasa's impeachment off, without the President' involvement He might have assumed Asiwaju is too busy in Abuja to bother about little issues in Lagos parliament That was a grave mistake on his part 4 Likes |

Dr Abati was clever by half with this response Obviously, someone solicited funds from Wike on Abati's behalf. Who is the Ex-Partner Abati referred to in that response? Naturally, when you live in glass houses, you shouldn't throw stone Unfortunately for Wike, he possibly does not have Video recordings of the visit of Abati and his partner to his house to solicit for the help, but obviously, Lere would not make such claim publicly if it is not true. Am sure it was Wike that briefed him. If Lere's claim was an outright lie, Abati would have threatened litigation. Even if it is half-truth, it means there is an iota of truth Politics is messy in Nigeria. Don't ever allow Nigerian politicians to have a dossier on you. And everyone will be extra-careful in approaching Wike for help now, because several years or even months after, the whole world will hear about it, once you are no longer in sync with him. It is even possible Wike will now install hidden cameras in his meeting rooms so he can record his dealings with people, in case they want to deny it in the future. And that is a terrible character. Secrets in times of peace, must remain secrets in times of war. 9 Likes |

But Tinubu is encouraging Wike to forgive Fubara, I don't think Sanwo Olu's disloyalty to Tinubu can be compared to Fubara's disloyalty to Wike So if Wike can forgive Fubara, Tinubu can forgive Sanwo Olu |

Asiwaju must learn how to forgive He is encouraging Wike to forgive Fubara for his disloyalty. Asiwaju should be able to do same to Sanwo Olu Sanwo Olu's errors cannot outweigh the good he has done to Asiwaju One of the hallmarks of a great leader is the ability to forgive. He may not necessarily forget (of course that will be difficult as humans), but he should be able to forgive. And Asiwaju is incredibly petty. Must he snub Sanwo Olu in public, even if he is having beef with him? That's a low for a sitting president 60 Likes 9 Shares |

Rauf is really a charasmatic politician. A very lovable person but he went completely overboard when he lambasted his benefactor in public. He really crossed the line and it seems irredeemable. However, if the Tinubu Political Family do not wish to forgive him and welcome him back into the family as a prodigal son, Rauf will have to find another political family to . We can't expect him to retire from politics, when he is still young and has a political following. If Atiku's are favourable to him, I see no reason why he should not take the opportunity

Wike said Bala Mohammed is a betrayal Atiku said Bala Mohammed is a betrayal Given that Wike and Atiku are political enemies, who then did Bala Mohammed worked for? Perhaps, the bigger question would be- Who really is Bala Mohammed? |

Yeah, I think I agree with your logic He possibly firm up his grip on the assembly after seeing Fubara's actions Because the assembly are Wike's only leverage in the political game. Without the assembly in his grip,by now Wike might have been confined to the dustbin of history SpiritMoney: |

I don't agree with your theory If Wike istered on House of Assembly in order to command their loyalty, he definitely would have istered bigger oath on the gover We have no evidence that some of the House of Assembly are also not political neophytes SpiritMoney: |

I agree absolutely with you Perhaps, if Fubara had waited to get a full grip of power before starting the onslaught against Wike, he would have been able to buy some of them over If not all, at least the seven house from the Ijaw areas. Fubara started the war without clear strategy Alexis11: 2 Likes |

So how did Fubara secure Wike's commitment to sponsor him? From your theory, maybe they also had blood oath. If that theory is true, how did Fubara now went away from Wike and no harm from the supposed blood covenant has happened to him? Lol SpiritMoney: 2 Likes |

How these guys have been able to maintain absolute loyalty to Wike, despite all possible offers from Fubara, is really worth studying After all, the same way Wike funded their election, was the same way he funded Fubara's election. So they could also have betrayed Wike and move with Fubara How they have maintained absolute loyalty should be a Case study in Schools of Public Governance. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

He was Special Adviser to Vice President Shettima, not to President Tinubu The official nomenclature is usually written as Special Adviser to the President (Office of the Vice President) This is because the Presidency is ONE, and all staffs of the Presidency as deemed as working for the President However, they have their specific posting. Some are staffs of the President, some are staffs of the Vice President |

But seriously, Wike's temperament, fighting multiple battles simultaneously, and bottling up so much bitterness and betrayals, might have a toll on his cardiovascular and neurovascular health. We really can't overburden our human frailty It means Tinubu really tried. With the volume of bitterness and struggles he had survived, he being hale and hearty at 73 (officially) is really God's grace. 9 Likes 1 Share |

The Supreme Court has dismissed two appeals filed by the Attorney General of Rivers State and the Speaker of the state’s Assembly, which sought to overturn the leave granted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to challenge a 2007 order preventing it from investigating the tenure of former Governor Peter Odili. In 2007, Odili obtained a perpetual injunction from the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, barring the EFCC from investigating or arresting him. The court order also restrained the anti-graft agency from probing the finances of the Rivers State Government. Subsequently, the EFCC applied to the Court of Appeal for permission to challenge the Federal High Court’s ruling after the statutory appeal period had elapsed. The appellate court granted the request, prompting the Rivers State Attorney General and the Speaker of the Assembly to appeal the decision at the Supreme Court. During Monday’s proceedings, Justice John Okoro, who presided over a five-member , questioned the substance of the appeal filed by the Rivers Attorney General, marked SC/CV/318/2018. Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) S. A. Somiari, representing the appellant, explained that the case was an interlocutory appeal challenging the Court of Appeal’s decision to grant EFCC leave to appeal the 2007 ruling. However, Justice Okoro interjected, stating, “This is not the type of appeal we hear here.” He advised the parties to return to the Court of Appeal to resolve the substantive matter before approaching the Supreme Court. Upon realizing the court’s stance, Somiari applied to withdraw the appeal. The EFCC’s legal team, led by Abubakar Mahmud (SAN), along with Sylvanus Tahir (SAN) and B. O. Obialo, did not oppose the request. Justice Okoro subsequently ruled: “Appeal is dismissed, having been withdrawn without any objection.” A similar ruling was issued for the appeal marked SC/CV/447/2018, filed by the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/03/odilis-probe-supreme-court-dismisses-rivers-case-against-efcc/ |

Fubara is playing a game. The Governor should present the budget first. The House of Assembly wrote him first. There is no need for unnecessary friendship. Fubara is not doing the House any favour by paying their entitlement. It is their right under the law. He started the fight, He said they were gone. They shouldn't allow him to unnecessarily hoodwink them. He is trying to build a case against impeachment. He knows the lawmaker might not honour the invitation, so he is trying to build public sympathy. They gave you 48hours to present budget. You didn't honour it. The next thing you are inviting them over. To do what? 7 Likes 3 Shares |

There is nothing like Victor Oko-Jombo house. There is nothing like Edison Ehile's house. The Supreme Court already pronounced that the since the day Fubara demolished the House of Assembly, the House has not been functioning (technically on vacation) and only just resumed back after the Supreme Court declaration. Victor Oko-Jombo and Edison Ehile's sittings are tantamount to Fubara just hosting his committee of friends in a social setting

Even though the mata never finish, as far as defection of those 27 lawmakers is concerned, the mata don finish. If you read the Certified True Copy of that judgement very carefully, you will see that the matter has been concluded. When they say, "if you must approach equity, you must do so with clean hands", this is what it means. Fubara already soiled his hands by demolishing the house of Assembly building. He cannot get any favourable judgement at the supreme court on this issues. The Supreme Court deliberately punished him. Even when you are reading the Certified True Copy of the judgement, you will feel the anger of the judges in their writing. Eriokanmi: 1 Like |

The building of the House of Assembly was already demolished by Fubara before the purported decamping of the law makers. That action angered the Supreme Court judges and they decided to punish Fubara for it. Eriokanmi: 1 Like |

How do we rationalize Fubara demolishing the State House of Assembly complex? The Supreme Court is a policy court. They have the capacity to punish rascal politicians. That was exactly what they did to Fubara. ddippset: 1 Like |

As far as the supreme court is concerned, all the alleged swearing of false affidavits never happened from the point when Fubara demolished the House of Assembly complex

No Court will adjudicate on the defection of the 27 lawmakers again. Whatever is left of that matter has become merely academic. The Supreme Court already pronounced that from the point Fubara demolished the State House of Assembly, all subsequent actions of the lawmakers, including their purported defection never happened. You cannot build something on nothing. Eriokanmi: 1 Like |

Like I said earlier, the Supreme Court deliberately decided to punish Fubara for demolishing the Assembly complex. And I think their decisions were justified CaptainGo: 1 Like |
