NEW PLOT AGAINST FUBARA?! RIVERS CRISIS EXPLODES AGAIN AS WIKE CAMP FACES FRESH ALLEGATIONS!"

Ajouté : 2026-06-03

[00:00:00][snorts] >> Wike just stood in Port Harcourt today surrounded by his rainbow coalition and issued a direct threat to sitting governors across Nigeria. He said, and these are his words, "If you put your hand, you will get fire."

[00:00:17]He warned that anyone from another state who tries to interfere in River State politics is looking for trouble.

[00:00:24]And then, in the very same breath, he claimed that the rainbow coalition, a cross-party alliance he has assembled across the PDP, APC, Labour Party, and Action Alliance has not yet decided who will be the governorship candidate in 2027, and that anyone who says otherwise is creating confusion.

[00:00:44]That is the picture from River State today. A man projecting maximum strength in public while the structures around his plan are cracking in every direction.

[00:00:54]Because [snorts] here is what Wike is not saying out loud. The same rainbow coalition launch on he hosted today was not a celebration of dominance. It was damage control. And the crisis it is trying to manage has just exploded into fresh territory.

[00:01:10]Let us take the coalition itself first, because what Wike said today about it reveals more than he intended. He declared that only the PDP, APC, and Labour Party have the structure and experience to win elections in Nigeria.

[00:01:25]He specifically took a swipe at the African Democratic Congress, the ADC, dismissing fringe parties as noise makers with no real electoral depth.

[00:01:35]Now, think about why he is singling out the ADC in a public speech at a coalition launch on. Nobody attacks a party they are not worried about. Rotimi Amaechi is on the ADC presidential ticket. ADC governorship aspirants are lining up in River State. And Amaechi, as we broke down in our earlier coverage, has the grassroots network, the Ikwerre base, and the mutual political interest with Fubara that makes the ADC a genuine threat to Wike's 2027 calculations.

[00:02:04]Wike does not name what frightens him, but he attacks what frightens him.

[00:02:08]Today's attack on the ADC is the clearest confirmation yet that Amaechi's platform is getting to him.

[00:02:16]Then there's the coalition candidate question that Wike is now publicly walking back. Just days ago, it was widely reported and many political observers believed that Chinda had already been anointed as the coalition's governorship choice. Wike came out today and flatly denied it. He said the coalition has candidates from multiple parties, including the PDP, and that a joint decision is still pending. He warned people against creating confusion by jumping to conclusions. But here's the contradiction. Chinda is already the APC governorship candidate. He emerged from the May 21st primary as the sole contestant. The APC process is done. So, if Wike is now saying the coalition has not chosen its candidate, what he's actually saying, whether intentionally or not, is that Chinda's APC emergence may not be the end of the story. Either the coalition overrides Chinda at some point in favor of a different candidate, or the APC primary result itself is being legally challenged into irrelevance. And on that second point, the courts are already doing exactly that, as we covered in our last video.

[00:03:23]Now, let us get into the fresh allegations that are detonating inside this crisis today.

[00:03:28]A pressure group has formally accused the Wike camp of orchestrating what they describe as a systematic plot to weaponize state institutions against Governor Fubara ahead of 2027.

[00:03:39]The specific allegations include claims that Wike's loyalists in the River State House of Assembly are being directed to manufacture fresh constitutional grounds to revive pressure on the governor, not through another formal impeachment notice, which would require the signature of at least 1/3 of lawmakers and would be immediately challenged in court, but through slower procedural strangulation.

[00:04:02]The allegation is that committee-level probes, budget blockades, and selective constitutional enforcement are being used as instruments of political pressure rather than as genuine legislative oversight. These are not new tactics in River State, but the scale and coordination being alleged today is what is generating fresh alarm in governance circles.

[00:04:22]The APC South-South group had earlier put on record that the impeachment threats against Fubara were never truly about constitutional violations. Their coordinator, Comrade Freedom Amadi, said publicly that the moves against Fubara were retaliatory, that Fubara had refused to approve inflated fictitious projects in the state budget, and that the Assembly loyalists moved against him precisely because he resisted pressure to corrupt the budget for political patronage.

[00:04:47]That allegation was made months ago and was never credibly rebutted by the Wike camp. What is being alleged now builds directly on that foundation, that the same network emboldened by Fubara's withdrawal from the APC primary and his continued political isolation inside the party is preparing another cycle of institutional pressure designed to either break him before 2027 or force him into a position of such weakness that his eventual exit from the governorship becomes a quiet, managed affair rather than a contested political fight.

[00:05:19]The timing of these fresh allegations is not accidental. They are landing at a moment when Fubara's political options are still being assessed in real time.

[00:05:27]He is a sitting governor with less than 1 year left before the 2027 election campaign begins in earnest. He is inside an APC that has systematically excluded him at every structural level. He is watching his elder brother run for the same governorship seat under the NDC, a development his camp has not publicly addressed, and he is watching the court challenge against Chinda's candidacy build momentum from his own Obio-Akpor constituency, a challenge that was filed before Chinda even emerged as the candidate. The question that everybody in Rivers politics is now asking, including those inside the Wike camp, is what exactly does Fubara do next? And the fresh allegations today are designed to answer that question for him before he can answer it himself, by making his remaining time in Government House as constrained and as uncomfortable as possible. Wike's brother message today also deserves careful reading.

[00:06:22]He told Rivers people that the state has received more federal benefits under Tinubu in 3 years than under previous administrations. He said people should count the appointments and the federal projects and compare them with what came before. He is making an explicitly transactional argument for why Rivers State must back Tinubu in 2027, and by extension, must back the coalition Wike controls.

[00:06:47]This is not the language of a confident political godfather who has already locked down the chessboard. This is the language of a man who is actively selling his coalition to an audience that is not yet fully convinced. You do not need to sell what people have already bought. The fact that Wike is still making the pitch, still assembling lunchons, still issuing warnings to external governors and fringe parties, still publicly clarifying that the coalition candidate has not been chosen, all of it tells you that the 2027 Rivers governorship is far from settled, and that the ground beneath Wike's carefully built structure is less stable than it appears from the outside.

[00:07:30]The crisis in Rivers State today is not the same crisis it was 2 weeks ago.

[00:07:35]2 weeks ago, it was about whether Fubara would survive the APC primary process.

[00:07:40]He did not. He withdrew. That fight is over. The new fight is about what the post-primary landscape looks like, and that landscape is shifting faster than any single actor can fully manage.

[00:07:52]Wike is holding a coalition luncheon while fresh allegations of institutional plots against Fubara circulate in the same city. Chinda is the APC flag bearer, while a Federal High Court in Abuja is being asked to declare his entire defection constitutionally invalid.

[00:08:09]Amaewhule's ADC platform is being dismissed in public speeches by a minister who would not be mentioning it unless it worried him. And Fubara, the man everyone has written off, is still sitting in Government House, still governing, still waiting while multiple counter-structures are being assembled across the NDC and ADC in his name or in his family's name.

[00:08:32]Watch what Wike's coalition does when the court eventually assigns a hearing date to the Chinda suit. Watch whether any Rivers lawmaker loyal to Wike makes any fresh procedural move against Fubara in the weeks ahead. Watch whether Fubara breaks his silence and makes a definitive public statement about his 2027 platform. And watch whether Amaewhule and the ADC respond to Wike's public attack on their party today, because that response, if it comes, will tell you exactly how seriously the Amaewhule camp is taking this fight and how ready they are to take it to another level.
