Let Go Of Rivers, You Can’t Win Every Battle – Fubara Advises Wike. The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has charged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to let go of any grip he desires to have over the state.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Fubara stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday.
According to Fubara, he does not regret conducting local government election in the state last Saturday.
The governor said he has kept all understanding he had with his predecessor to ensure peace in the state but the issue has continued to escalate.
“There is nothing I have not done on this earth for peace to reign. I can tell you the number of times I have knelt to beg that let’s allow this issue to go. I have done everything,” Fubara said.
Asked what his message to Wike would be if they meet, Fubara said, “I’ll tell him (Wike) that it has gotten to a point where he needs to let go. We need peace in this state.
“You don’t necessarily need to win all the fights; at times, you just let go for the sake of the good people of Rivers State and the love that you have always profess for the state. We need to secure the state.
“Fubara will leave tomorrow. Who knows who is going come. It might be through him or through another person but we need to secure the state.”
Fubara said all Nigerians know that he has no hand in the destruction of local government secretariats in Rivers State.
The governor noted that he sounded the alarm on Sunday evening when he swore in 23 newly elected LG chairpersons in the state that some aggrieved political actors had mobilised to destabilise the peace of the state on Monday.
Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has described former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s plan to contest the 2027 presidential election as selfish.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
His reaction follows Atiku’s recent interview on Arise Television, where the former Vice President said 2027 may be his last attempt to become Nigeria’s president.
In a post shared on social media, Fayose questioned Atiku’s decision to return to the ballot, arguing that it goes against current political expectations on power rotation.
He claimed that Atiku’s continued ambition would indirectly benefit President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, suggesting it could split opposition chances in 2027.
Fayose insisted that it is time for the South to complete its political cycle, adding that Atiku’s repeated bids for the presidency were unfair and out of step with current realities.
He further argued that Atiku’s participation in the race would strengthen Tinubu’s re-election prospects, describing the move as politically counterproductive for the opposition.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal were suspended by a faction of the party in Adamawa State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The party described the move as invalid, insisting that those behind the announcement lack the constitutional authority to suspend any member.
ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi said the purported suspension carries no legitimacy within the party structure.
He dismissed the claim, stating that the individuals who announced the suspension have no powers to take such disciplinary action.
The controversy followed a press briefing by a factional chairman in Adamawa, Raji Zumo, who announced the suspension of Atiku, Lawal, and transition committee chairman Sadiq Ibrahim over alleged anti-party activities.
Abdullahi, however, maintained that no member is above the party’s constitution, but stressed that due process must be followed in any disciplinary action.
The ADC is currently facing internal leadership disputes, with rival factions laying claim to control of the party amid ongoing legal and administrative battles.
A faction of the Labour Party (LP) led by the Nenadi Usman Caretaker Committee has suspended 26 members loyal to the Julius Abure-led faction.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The decision was announced in a post on the faction’s official handle, following approval by its National Executive Council.
According to the statement, the affected members were sanctioned for allegedly aligning with a rival faction within the party.
The Nenadi-led committee said it derives its authority from a Supreme Court judgment delivered on April 4, 2025, which removed Julius Abure as National Chairman.
The judgment has continued to fuel a leadership tussle within the Labour Party.
Those suspended include several party figures said to be loyal to the Abure camp, with the faction publishing a full list of names.
The development marks another escalation in the ongoing internal crisis rocking the opposition party.
