Fubara is trending because a desperate Nyesome Wike has visited Sim Fubara residence 2x in 24hrs, to woo him and his supporters to back his candidates and Tinubu in 2027; offering appointments.
So apparently, Fubara was no longer interested in politics, particularly connected to Wike. He was set to be neutral after the embarrassing removal from office by godfather, Wike, or atleast his affiliation wasn’t revealed.
Which meant that, with nothing to lose anymore, Fubara’s political structure in Rivers State was open for the taking by anyone with a favourable offer, including opposition parties. This is why many believe Wike is desperately seeking to win them over to work for Asiwaju before the ADC or NDC capitalises on the opportunity.
This is interesting, because recently, the FCT Minister, was certain APC had won the Presidential elections across Nigeria, including Rivers State. However, for the first time in public record, Wike visited Fubara’s residence on Sunday and again today, not alone, along with;
Speaker, Martin Amaewhule; Kingsley Chinda (APC Gubernatorial candidate), all 23 Local Government Chairmen. The ADC highlighted this as an indicator of panic in Wike’s grand plot for 2027.
Rumors alleged that the meeting was to discuss how to accommodate Fubara’s people, in exchange for their support for Wike’s candidates; Chinda and Asiwaju.
Which, Simplifieds, allegedly demanded that firstly, the 3 Assembly Members loyal to Fubara who were removed since October 2023, should be reinstated.
Namely; Victor Oko-Jumbo of Bonny, Sokari Goodboy Sokari of Ahoada West, and Timothy Oruibienimigha of Opobo/Nkoro.
While this was a rumor yesterday, today, speaker Amaewhule has now reinstated all three lawmakers and apologized to them, publicly. As the Wike delegation again, returned to Fubara’s residence to continue negotiations.
ICYMI: Wike through speaker Amaewhule through tried impeaching Fubara twice before Pres. Tinubu’s intervention, who later declared a State of Emergency in Rivers that saw Fubara sidelined for 6-months.
He was restored as governor only after agreeing to serve a single term, terminate all his appointments, field no candidates across all LGAs in the council elections, and refrain from picking his own aides or making any appointments; essentially making him a dummy governor until 2027.
But Fubara has now successfully managed to flip the script. Wike is now seemingly desperately seeking reconciliation, to basically get Fubara to align his Simplified structure to Wike’s Rainbow Coalition ahead of 2027.
