Fubara reportedly left the seat of power on Wednesday morning, according to a close source who requested anonymity as he was not authorized to speak on the issue.
Meanwhile, security at the Government House remains sparse, although the two Armoured Personnel Carriers seen on Tuesday night in front of the premises are still stationed there with a handful of security operatives.
As of the time of filing this report, normal activities were ongoing in Port Harcourt and its environs.

I QUARREL WITH THOSE WHO CALL NIGERIA A ZOO. NIGERIA IS NOT A ZOO. A ZOO IS AN ORGANISED SPACE WITH WELL- LAID CAGES, WALKWAYS, RULES AND FEEDING ROUTINES. IT IS MAINTAINED AND CLEANED, AND PEOPLE PAY TO VISIT.

A lady apologised for her fight with IPOB. The response she got was ''Good Morning''
DeleteI love how H.E Peter Obi penned it.
''The unilateral decision of President Bola Tinubu to remove Governor Similaya Fubara of Rivers State from office is not only unconstitutional but also reckless.
It has plunged us back into a state of lawlessness, hugely undoing the progress we have made in these 26 years of democratic journey.
By disregarding the rule of law, the President has shown a dangerous willingness to trample on democracy.
The declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State is not just reckless—it is a clear attempt to return us to a state of nature and tighten its grip on power at all costs.
It is a degrading back door imposition of martial rule on a strategic part of the federation with all the implied negatives .
The political situation on the ground in Rivers does not justify such an extreme measure, and it is also a biased interpretation of section 305(1) of the 1999 constitution.
A state of emergency does not mean an elected Governor can be removed unilaterally. This decision does not align with democratic norms or good governance. Instead, it appears to be a predetermined action serving specific interests rather than the collective good of the people of Rivers State and Nigeria.
This action constitutes an unconstitutional overreach, setting a dangerous precedent that threatens democracy, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. If left unchecked, it could foster a culture of impunity.
Having already been grappling with non-adherence to electoral qualifications, rules, and massive rigging, adding arbitrary removal of elected officials will push us to a state of nature and anarchy.
I appeal to the National Assembly and all stakeholders not to allow this to stand, as it only deepens the culture of impunity and brigand already threatening our democracy.
A new Nigeria is POssible!

ReplyDeleteLike play ,like play his story would be once upon a time
I doubt, Rivers people will not let this slide.
DeleteWike has bite more than he can chew. He should watch his back!
I hope Amaehule and co have entered
DeleteFubara's advisers did not advice him well. Guy got it wrong from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteHow did he get it wrong? He refused them running off with the economic vault of Rivers State..get at pls
Delete@16.30 na only don talk true. I agree totally with you.
DeleteAll I know for certainty is that, Similayi Fubara can't be impeached. At best all they will do is to keep him away till 2027 election but trust me, it will create bad blood between the Riverine (Ijaw) and the upland (Ikwerre)
ReplyDeleteI'm so disappointed Mr President didn't handle this whole thing very well. He allowed one man an enemy of the state to lead him into his personal greed and insatiable hunger for power control.

Hmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThis life
That Fubara is stubborn too. He get him own for body. Imagine, he demolished the national Assembly complex back then all because of his feud with law makers
If he goes, he goes with his head up and shoulder high. I'm proud of him. I hate bullies!
DeleteHmmmmm

I have retyped what Pinky typed.
Make una forgive am 🤣
This is so shameful to our democracy
ReplyDeleteI can feel his powerlessness 😭😭😭.
ReplyDeleteWike will be somewhere smiling coy, Wike I hope you keep watching your back because this trouble you've called for might come back for you.
ReplyDeleteNot might...it will definitely come back...He will receive the highest level of betrayal..They want to use him kpai PDP patapata and Nigeria a one party state...
DeleteThat is the aim and goal...
My own is simple, don't ride on a man's back to success and start forming Saint.
ReplyDeleteEven God does not appreciate ingratitude.
Wike is bad, but you kept quiet when he picked you and gave you a chance over more established politicians in Rivers state, bought form for you and campaigned vigorously for you. All that time, he was a good man.
You only changed after the Supreme Court confirmed you.victory, which means you always had that plan.
You demolished house of assembly building since Dec 2023, refuse.to pay their salaries and allowances for 1 year but the pretenders that should have the told you the truth were hailing you to.deal.with Wike and his boys
Did Peter Obi try to advise this man truthfully!
