Rivers crisis: Tinubu played Wike’s script against Fubara — Bayelsa, Delta monarchs

TWO traditional rulers in Bayelsa and Delta States, HRM King Dodo II of Bilabiri Kingdom, and HRH King-jerry Prebor (snr.), the Amananaowei of the Meinbutus Federated Communities, have accused President Tinubu of performing the script of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nyesom Wike, against Governor Similanayi Fubara in his Tuesday declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.

HRH Prebor who spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the phone, said: ‘’Tinubu’s actions are biased because throughout his broadcast, he never saw anything wrong with the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, who is behind everything happening in Rivers State.

“What the president did is clear, he played the script of Wike whose aim was to impeach Governor Fubara, so the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State is the alternative to the impeachment by Wike. The script read by President Tinubu is the same script written for the Supreme Court to execute Rivers State, which gave the Rivers State House of Assembly the impunity to attempt impeachment of the constitutionally elected governor.

“If the President had sanctioned the minister before taking the kind of action he took, it would have been a different thing, but I am glad that of a truth, the governor is the people’s choice. He is humble and developmental.”

On his part, King Dodo II said, “Rivers State is under oppression and siege. The removal of the governor of the state is not democratic. It shows that the federal government led by Tinubu is dancing to the tune of the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike. Why not sack the minister himself who is the one orchestrating all the ugly happenings in Rivers State? The president should sack Wike, in order to manage the Rivers crisis and prevent it from escalating to other parts of the Niger Delta.”

Then which script did fubara play? The mumu fubara won the most daft governor of the year. You didn't have your own structure on ground, you started fighting a m@d man like wike who has the backing of the federal government, who does that?

Sim wey bring down assembly complex and seize salaries of elected lawmakers, which person script him play?

Wike don taya these journalists.

How you go say Tinubu played Wike script lol.

Wike is not the first to use federal might to remove a gov

Adedibu with the help of OBJ did same in Oyo
Same with Ojudu in Ekiti

Where are both men today in the scheme of things

That of Adedibu is more pitiable. His dream to install his son as gov of Oyo state never materialise till he died

Today, none of his followers is of any meaningful relevance in Oyo state while Ladoja is still highly reverred and relevant

Traditional rulers should stay off politics.
As Elders, they not expected to take sides or be issuing statements like this.
Instead of finding means if settling the feuding parties, they busy doing something else.

So you guys with your Yoruba president can turn our region to godfather controlled region.

Where is Fubara?

We all knew. Tinubu want to have two States that brings money to Nigeria to himself . Rivers and Lagos

So because someone is a traditional ruler, he should keep quiet and allow injustice ?
The way you guys reason ehh!

I still say it the only place in Nigeria Tinubu could have done the nonsense he did and still doing in Lagos and the entire Southwest politics was Yoruba land because of their ideology and that is what they want all over Nigeria...

Leboska:

That is what they want, tribal supremacy, one begins to wonder why it is only Yorubas that are ing this insanity Tinubu is doing in Rivers, all other regions are against it including the north...

what if they tinubu like Oba Akiolu?

I think we've had enough of this Rivers State brouhahas

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) does not give a flying fvck about the political interpretation of royal nuisances. As a matter fact, Asiwaju has no fvcks to give at these times.

What is demanded of him to sustain peace he has done and not answerable to anybody.

Long live His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

And he is forming neutral

Go to court.

Daft punks...

These are some of the people that want Tinubu to humiliate Wike in order to mock him

Whose agenda was Fubara following when he demolished the State House of Assembly and removed 27 elected lawmakers, while running the state with just three?

Whose agenda was he following when he boldly declared on national TV that the 27 lawmakers only exist because he allows them to?

Whose agenda was he following when he publicly called on militants to be on standby, waiting for his instructions to take action?

It’s unfair to dismiss the 27 HoA , who were duly elected by the majority of Rivers State residents to represent their constituencies!


The opinion of some idioticccc royal fathers is not relevant at this point

What matters now is that peace and stability have been restored in Rivers.

God bless Tinubu for his proactive approach—his leadership and decisiveness truly exceeded my expectations.

yeye dey small

Hmmmmm 🤔

Why

No mind them. They are blind to those facts.

What's worse? Their statement or the statement of Oba of Lagos in 2015' that Igbos should perish in lagoon'?

I wonder what is the business of Bayelsa and Delta State kings in Rivers State's political crisis. Are they from Rivers State?

But it was okay when traditional rulers were insulted by Wike abi There can be no conflict resolution if the two parties are not involved

Better he fought than allowing the same mad man have the resources of the state easily for his selfish greed.


When a lion attacks a buffalo to eat, even if the bufallo finally gets eaten by the lion it is more respect to the bufallo to make sure that lion does not enjoy it as a meal by making sure the lion is heavily wounded

Tinubu is a master strategist.

Wike is a man of honor. I love him.

Nairaland is a safe land for APC zombies. An arm of APC...

That’s the plan

Tinubu is not dancing to any tune,
He is part of the musicians, it's a planned work by tinubu and wike

Were you born this way or just playing?
