Ikwerre is Igbo and was part of the Idu kingdom amongst several other Igbos that made up the Idu kingdom. When the Idu-na Oba war began they all had a reverse migration. Reason Ikwerre now claim Bini. Idu was never Bini but Igbo kingdom.

The Aniomas, Onisha,Ogutas, and others were part of the Idu kingdom too and are all Igbos by ancestry.

Bini Is a new numenclature when compared to the Idu kingdom.

Rivers 2026: Man to watch Edison Ogereye Ehie

By The Neighbourhood Team

As the political landscape of Rivers State shifts toward the pivotal year of 2026, one name remains at the centre of the storm, and that is Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie. Currently serving as the Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Government House, Ehie has transitioned from a legislative powerhouse to the strategic engine room of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration.

His legislative legacy: From Deputy Speaker to Factional Leader

Edison Ehie’s tenure in the Rivers State House of Assembly was defined by rapid ascent and high-stakes defiance. Representing Ahoada East Constituency II, he served as the Deputy Speaker in the 9th Assembly, establishing himself as a key negotiator and loyalist within the state's power structure.

By the 10th Assembly, his career took a dramatic turn during the 2023 political crisis. After being removed as Majority Leader for refusing to endorse impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara, allegedly rejecting a ₦5 billion bribe in the process, Ehie emerged as the Speaker of a four-member faction loyal to the Governor. His tenure as Speaker was marked by a legal and physical battle for control of the Assembly complex, eventually ending in his strategic resignation in December 2023 as part of a peace deal brokered by President Bola Tinubu.

Brand of politics: Loyalty and "The King of Boys"

No doubt a product of the political brand cultivated and nurtured by former Governor Nyesom Wike, Ehie’s brand of politics is characterized by unflinching loyalty and a "street-smart" approach to power. He is widely regarded as Governor Fubara’s "right-hand man" and the chief architect of the pro-Fubara grassroots movement.

The moniker "King of Boys", a reference to the gritty, high-stakes leadership depicted in Nigerian cinema, has been associated with him due to his perceived influence over the youth and political foot-soldiers in Rivers State. This title reflects his ability to mobilize the grassroots. Ehie maintains a deep connection with the youth demographic, often acting as a bridge between the formal government and the "street" political structures.

Ehie, sometimes considered "dangerously quiet", has weathered legal storms. Despite facing serious allegations and being declared "wanted" by police during the height of the 2023 crisis, he remained a visible and defiant figure, further cementing his reputation as a "tough" political survivor.

2026: The strategic forecast

As 2025 draws to a close, Ehie’s influence is projected to reach its peak in 2026. With the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) fixing February 21, 2026, for a bye-election in his former constituency of Ahoada East II, Ehie will be the primary kingmaker tasked with securing a victory for the Fubara camp.

His role in 2026 is expected to be three-fold:

Enforcer: Using his position as Chief of Staff to consolidate the Governor's control over the state's civil service and local government structures.

Campaign strategist: Leading the charge against the pro-Wike faction in what many see as a final showdown for the soul of Rivers State politics.

Bridge builder: Navigating the complex transition of Governor Fubara's political family into new party structures following the Governor's recent shifts toward the All Progressives Congress, APC, while maintaining the loyalty of the PDP grassroots.

In the coming year, Edison Ehie will likely remain the most consequential "non-elected" official in the state, serving as both the shield and the sword for the Fubara administration.
