VIDEO: Fubara is already down, more to come for him โ€” Wike boasts

The minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has declared that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is already losing political ground in the state.

Wike, speaking at a grand reception held in his honour by the Kalabari people in Abalama, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, criticised the governorโ€™s choice of allies, saying that Fubara is surrounded by individuals who had previously harboured governorship ambitions.

According to him, he refused to approve Fubaraโ€™s alliance with those individuals because he knew they had no good intentions for the people of Rivers State.

The minister declared that Governor Fubara was already down politically and boasted that more setbacks were awaiting him.

He said, โ€œYou (Fubara) surround yourself with people who wanted to be governor, to whom I said โ€˜no, these people donโ€™t mean well for Rivers State.โ€™ They are the ones surrounding you, giving you advice.

โ€œDo you think you will succeed? They will give you bad advice and look at what bad advice is doing to you. You are already down 2-0, and thereโ€™s more to come. I have never seen this type of politics where you surround yourself with those who want your seat.โ€

This comes a few days after Wike said nothing catastrophic would occur if the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martins Amaewhule, proceeds with the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Speaking during a media parley in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike stated that there was nothing unusual about a state legislature removing a sitting governor over alleged impeachable offences, including claims that Fubara withheld lawmakersโ€™ salaries for several months.

The Peopleโ€™s Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart said, โ€œIf you have committed an offence to be impeached, whatโ€™s wrong? Is it a criminal offence? Itโ€™s provided in the constitution. Am I a member of the Assembly?

โ€œIf you have committed an infraction of the constitution and the Assembly deems it fit to say, you should be impeached.

โ€œI have heard people say: โ€˜Oh, if they impeach him, there will be a breakdown of law and order. โ€™ Rubbish! Nothing will happen.โ€

Wike also dismissed suggestions that the Assembly was acting in bad faith, noting that if the lawmakers were not interested in peace, they would have embarked on a six-month recess after the Supreme Courtโ€™s verdict on the stateโ€™s political crisis.

โ€œIโ€™m not a fraudsterโ€, Hope UZODINMA media aide Ambrose Nwaogwugwu affirms

Ambrose Nwaogwugwu

Governor Hope UZODINMA Senior Special Assistant on creative media have narrated part of his history and travails in politics and media, in his Facebook page he stated โ€œI joined Facebook in 2010, started following current affairs in 2011, and began writing about politics in 2012. Since then, I have remained consistent to this day.

I was awarded โ€œThe Most Vibrant and Social Media Informer of the Yearโ€ by Imo Social Media Searchlight Concept, an event organized by Mc Tboy Samuel and his boss, MC Banana Mouthโ€ฆ.the first in Imo state social media community.

Same year, April 2014, I received my first political appointment as a media consultant to the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu (may God continue to rest his beautiful soul).

This marks 15 years on Facebook and 13 years of political engagement here. And in all these years, not a single person can claim that Ambrose Nwaogwugwu has defrauded them of even 1 kobo.

When you mention my name, people may call me all sorts of thingsโ€”praise singer, sycophant, data boy, or even Uzodimmaโ€™s slaveโ€”and I wear these names as a badge of honor. However, no one can associate my name with any form of scam or fraud.

Were it not for politics, my name would have remained completely unblemished. But in life, one must be known for something. Nevertheless, if my name is mentioned in my absence, it will never be linked to fraud or dishonesty.

You are defined by how people speak of you in your absence, not by what they say when you are present.

I urge young people to be cautious in their dealings and avoid anything that could tarnish their reputation. There are individuals whose names, when mentioned, immediately bring to mind multiple accusations of fraud and scamโ€”and when several people say the same thing, they canโ€™t all be wrong.

Young people must do better.

I was raised with the fear of God, and I have always refrained from anything that could bring dishonor to my name. While growing up, my mother constantly reminded us that our name is NWAOGWUGWU, a prestigious name that must never be stainedโ€ฆ.that out name is not good in mkporo ghieghie (whilstling). She emphasized that stealing, fraud, and deception are not in our lineageโ€”a principle I uphold to this day.

Apart from politics, no human born of a woman can accuse me of any wrongdoing.

Young people must strive for a better way of life.

Yes, times are tough, but there is dignity in honest labor. Defrauding and scamming others is not laborโ€”it makes you nothing but a thief.โ€ he  said
