What manner of shambolic deal is this President Bola Tinubu’s planned reinstatement of Siminalayi Fubara as Rivers State Governor?
First off, it is a confirmation that Fubara's suspension by Tinubu on the grounds of insecurity was a farce and that, indeed, the suspension was politically motivated. Recall that since the suspension of Fubara, about 400 persons, including the 200 in Yelewata, have been massacred in Benue without a declaration of a state of emergency in the North Central state.
Secondly, it is a confirmation that the suspension was linked to Wike's failed bid to control the resources of Rivers.
Thirdly, it is a confirmation of Tinubu’s gambit to have his ruling APC control the oil-rich state.
Fourthly, it is an abridgement of the rights of Governor Fubara and the usurpation of the mandate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the people of Rivers to determine whether Fubara is worthy of a second term or not. Instead, what we are witnessing is Tinubu constituting a caucus to determine the process and outcome of what is supposed to be the exclusive preserve of the good people of Rivers State.
