By Daniel Abia
MR Opunabo IInkor-Tariah served arsenic a media adjutant to erstwhile Governor Nyesom Wike successful Rivers State. Few days to the September 18 extremity of the six months exigency regularisation and instrumentality of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, helium wants the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ette Ibas to relationship for each the wealth helium received during the 180 days governmental interregnum successful the state. He besides spoke connected authorities of 2027 saying Mr Peter Obi would springiness President Bola Tinubu a bully combat successful 2027 if supported by the opposition.
On however Rivers State has
fared since the
emergency regularisation was declared connected March 18, 2005 by President Tinubu
It has fared abysmally successful the consciousness that the radical of Rivers State person been denied the dividends of ideology for 5 months. Most of america successful the authorities initially thought that the authorities of exigency was to support the governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to flight an impeachment proceeding. But it seems to maine that it was a façade. If you person a authorities of exigency arsenic a effect of insecurity successful the state, you don’t expect a antheral you sent here, which astir of america are averse to, to statesman to tamper with governance. He dissolves and appoints committee members astatine volition and truthful on. What is the nexus betwixt that and governance?
It looks that determination are ulterior motives successful what they really intended to do. They conducted section authorities elections connected August 30. But the Supreme Court said it should beryllium re-conducted, it did not accidental it should beryllium conducted nether subject rule.
The Supreme Court directed that the connection of re-conducting the assembly predetermination to the authorities politician and not to a subject administrator. Well, radical are already successful tribunal challenging that election. Let america hold aft the judgment.
Secondly, erstwhile this sole head came to Rivers, helium said the authorities was peaceful contrary to nationalist opinion. When helium started to inspect projects, helium said those projects were bully projects and were astir 80 percent completed. There was nary insecurity successful Rivers State before, during and aft the coming of the sole administrator.
To accidental everything is stagnated is to beryllium economical with the truth. There is retrogression successful Rivers State. A younker corps subordinate conscionable called to archer maine that since they suspended the governor, things person not been bully with them. I didn’t adjacent cognize that the politician extended his benevolence to the younker corps members. What President Tinubu and Wike are doing is to divest the politician of his powers. The House of Assembly volition travel back, the section authorities chairmen are Wike’s men, the commissioners are going to beryllium nominated by Wike. The politician volition conscionable travel and stay similar that.
Rivers radical are opening to inquire for the existent sum of wealth that came to the state’s coffers successful these 5 months…
Vice Admiral Ibas volition relationship for each kobo helium collected from national allocation and the IGR. We each cognize what is happening successful the state. Our internally generated gross is implicit N20 Billion monthly. The governor’s fund was conscionable N1.1 trillion, Ibas re-presented astir N1.8 trillion oregon truthful to the National Assembly. He has been spending wealth based connected the fund that was passed by Rt. Hon Victor Oko Jumbo.
Everything successful Rivers authorities close present seems to tilt towards 2027. The FCT Minister appears to person a steadfast clasp connected some PDP and APC, wherever volition Rivers beryllium successful 2027?
I truly cannot accidental with certainty wherever the authorities volition beryllium then. Many radical judge that the injustice done to Rivers State indispensable beryllium addressed done the ballot. Many besides judge that a antheral similar Tinubu should not instrumentality to power, not conscionable due to the fact that of the Rivers occupation but the wide economical hardship. Many radical really judge that we should not adjacent ballot for the PDP due to the fact that it is being controlled by a antheral who enactment them successful this quagmire. They judge that we should hold for the 3rd force. But the occupation present is however prepared, however portent volition the 3rd unit beryllium particularly with the scramble for the statesmanlike ticket? If they tin let ADC to garner spot and the traction it deserves and let Peter Obi to clinch the ticket, helium volition springiness Tinubu a pugnacious fight. Last time, helium won successful Lagos. He won successful Rivers State. If they contiguous a antheral similar Atiku, it is going to beryllium an abysmal failure. Let Atiku springiness the enactment to Peter Obi past we tin wrestle powerfulness from Mr. President. Well, determination is yet different radical of radical who privation the President to continue.
