“Nigeria Is Finished” – Ugochinyere Warns Amid Rivers Crisis

Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, a member of the House of Representatives, expressed deep concern over the political unrest in Rivers State, suggesting that Nigeria is on the brink of collapse.
His alarming statement came in response to reports that supporters of a minister in President Bola Tinubu’s administration were allegedly involved in burning down government offices, while law enforcement appeared unable to intervene.
The crisis in Rivers State has been escalating, particularly after the local government elections held last Saturday.
Following the election, chaos erupted when part of the Eleme Local Government secretariat was set ablaze shortly after the newly-elected chairman, Brian Gokpa, assumed office.
Ugochinyere took to social media to voice his frustration, pointing out that the country has seen similar unrest in the past, and the aftermath has always been dire.
In a post shared on his X account, Ugochinyere warned that the current situation mirrors previous episodes of political instability, which have had far-reaching consequences.
He urged President Tinubu to take swift action to put an end to the violence, emphasizing that these acts of destruction, allegedly carried out by loyalists of the former governor Nyesom Wike, could lead to disastrous results if not immediately addressed.
Ugochinyere’s post continued with a stern reminder to the President that Nigerians, especially the people of Rivers State, are closely watching the situation unfold.
He stressed that the newly elected Local Government Chairmen have been sworn in and that no amount of disruption will change the outcome of the democratic process that saw Governor Siminalayi Fubara rise to power.
The political tension in Rivers State remains high, with calls for calm growing louder as the crisis threatens to spiral further out of control.
Ugochinyere’s comments reflect a broader fear that if the unrest is not contained, it could deepen the divisions within the country and have lasting consequences for Nigeria’s fragile democracy.

Fubara Disowns 2027 Campaign Materials, Says He Only Wants Peace for the State

Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has distanced himself from campaign materials being circulated ahead of the 2027 elections. Fubara made it clear that he never approved the production of caps, shirts, or any other campaign items for the next general election.
Speaking to his supporters in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Fubara stressed that his focus is on restoring peace and stability in the state, not on political campaigns. His reaction follows the recent resolution of the political crisis in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.
The clash between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had sparked months of tension, which eventually led to Fubara’s six-month suspension from office. Tinubu even declared a state of emergency in Rivers State during the height of the crisis.
However, the president stepped in last week, holding talks with all parties at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, leading to a temporary truce. Fubara expressed his frustration over the campaign materials, saying, “I was really upset when someone sent me a video of people producing caps and shirts for the 2027 elections.
“I didn’t approve that, I didn’t send anyone to do that. For now, what Rivers State needs is peace so that we can focus on progress and development.”

Pastor Adeboye to Lead National Prayers for Nigeria’s Failing Economy

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will be leading a national prayer session focused on reviving Nigeria’s struggling economy. The prayer is scheduled to take place during the church’s July 2025 Thanksgiving Service, themed “Divine Intervention”, at the RCCG national headquarters in Oyingbo, Lagos.
Speaking ahead of the event through his Special Assistant on Administration, Pastor Dele Balogun, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that both Nigeria and other countries are facing tough times. But he believes the current hardship is not beyond repair if people embrace faith and take positive action.
“Our nation is going through serious challenges, just like other parts of the world. But the truth is, we can overcome them with faith, as long as we don’t give room to fear or doubt,” Adeboye said. He encouraged Nigerians to reject negative confessions and instead focus on faith-driven solutions, adding that with God’s intervention, the country’s economic situation can still turn around.
The upcoming prayer session, according to him, is not just about asking for change but about opening doors to new opportunities and paving the way for national transformation.
