PDP tells Fubara to Remain in PDP to Rebuild Rivers After His Return To Office
Governor Siminalayi Fubara has returned to office in Rivers State after President Bola Tinubu lifted the six-month state of emergency that pushed him, his deputy, and the State House of Assembly out of power. The move, announced on September 17, 2025, marked the end of a tense period in the oil-rich state, where political clashes and governance breakdowns had led to federal intervention.
With his reinstatement, the Lagos chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sent a clear message to Fubara: stay loyal to the party and focus on rebuilding Rivers. The chapter urged him not to abandon the PDP, calling on him to show courage, restore confidence in leadership, and make sure the people feel the impact of good governance after months of uncertainty.
The Rivers crisis had deepened earlier this year with sharp disagreements between Fubara and the state legislature, as well as disputes over budgets and widespread disruptions to governance. Violence and damage to vital oil facilities made matters worse, prompting the federal government to step in with emergency rule. A retired navy chief, Ibok Ekwe Ibas, was temporarily put in charge until order was restored.
Now that the emergency is over, expectations are high. The Lagos PDP believes this is Fubara’s chance to set Rivers on a new path, mend divisions, and prove his commitment to both his people and his party.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
