RIVERS STATE AND ITS LET DOWN POLITICS:
The day you starts blaming Governor Siminalayi Funara for the unsettling and political hullabaloo in Rivers State is the day you Divorce Common Sense. Yes. I says it unequivocally.
Let's set the record straight, it was very cleared from the above that the version of politics they're practicing in Rivers State is Betrayal Politics, of which father can't trust his son politically and son can't subscribe to every instruction uttered by his father.
Since 1999, when the democracy wasn't loss its virginity, the then Governor Peter Odili was Fmr. Governor Amaechi's political father who deliberately out of love brought him into politics and also transformed him into political limelight. This man traded his presidential ambition in 2007 without receiving shishi for the candidacy of Amaechi as governorship candidate of PDP in 2007 at A*o Rock when OBJ told Dr. Peter Odili that his political son wasn't party choice in that electioneering. But at the end of the day, when the sun go to rest, WHAT DID AMAECHI did to Baba? I thinks the answer can be present to us by Google. You'll see this in Dr. Peter Odili's book titled "How Amaechi Betrayed Me".
In the early of Amaechi's hegemony, God sent a messanger to him, of which the Man was presented as a 'Yes Man' whom seemed to abide to every directive of Amaechi, the man was so calm that, if you describe a chemist shop to him, he would be telling people that you gave him a survival as if you paid for his drugs. Alas the man knew he was doing and cajolery but people taught he was respectful. You knows when loyalty was brought to you by sycophancy, it is unclear and unsave for you to be wise enough for Realization. The man is current FCT minister Hon. Eyesome Wike. Although i never had encounter with him before, but since when I've been following him, every person he has praised before has been downgraded by him after he has obtained one of the climax of political and democratical achievements. Wike was politically brought up, nurtured, and trained by Amaechi, even after numerous political trainings, he was even supported by Amaechi materially and intrumentally. Amaechi transfomed him from LGA Chairman of ObiAkpor LGA in Rivers to his Chief of Staff, and also nominated by Amaechi as Minister, not only those, he was also made by Amaechi as his successor when he left office as Governor of Rivers State. But what did Wike do to him? I thinks the answere is obvious to us and even on Grok.
Fast forward to today, an Architect, contributor and actor whom also betrayed his Boss, is now fighting his stooge not to debase his political career after he has done so many negagtive things to his.
I thinks Gov. Funara isn't a saint also, and not even better than any of his predecessors in every aspect of life and Hon. Wike isn't also a fantastic fellow. So any past Rivers State's governor who is standing by Gov. Fubara today is just thinking that "as long as you're fighting my enemy, we can be friends".
On the issue of Asiwaju, President Tinubu wants to win Rivers State in 2027 with big data, and he knows that, the Rivers State people love Gov. Fubara, but Wike is much politically devoted, charismatic and loyal than Fubara. That's why he has been intervening on their issue.
Note: I ONLY TALKS ABOUT WHO THEY POLITICALLY ARE, NOT THEIR LACUNA ON THIS FIGHT. EVERYONE OF THEM MADE MISTAKES BECAUSE THE ISSUE OF GODFATHERISM ISN'T NEW TO US. BUT STAY TUNE IN MY NEXT POST!
