You lobbied for LGA autonomy, you got it. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained.

You insisted that LGAs in Rivers State must be presided by elected officers and not Caretaker Committees. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained.

You got a Supreme Court judgement insisting that LGA elections must be conducted within 3 months. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained

You constituted RISEC; appointed the chairman and members of the Commission. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained

You empowered members of RISEC with expensive cars before you left office. Gov. Sim Fubara never replaced any of the members nor gift them anything till date.

You Masterminded the closure of all the Local Government Councils until elections are conducted to bring in chairmen to head the councils. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained

The Commissioner of Police in Rivers State is loyal to you; you determine who is posted to or redeployed from Rivers State as CP. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained.

Despite Court Order stopping PDP Congresses in Rivers State, you disobeyed the Order and conducted PDP Congresses from Ward, LGA and State levels. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained.

You are in charge of the PDP in Rivers State and definitely could decide who flies the Party’s flag in the LGA election. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained

You said you have the support of Rivers people and will win every election in Rivers State. Gov. Sim Fubara never complained.

You have the Police. You appointed RISEC Chairman and his members. You have PDP structure in Rivers State. You have the highest supporters in Rivers State; as seen during protests and events.

Yet you don’t want the LGA election to hold, what does Wike really want from Gov. Sim Fubara?

Here is the judgement from the Federal High Court, Abuja today

1. INEC can only monitor 2027 primaries but cannot fix timetable for when a political party should conduct its primaries for this election

2. INEC cannot give a shorter timeframe or abridge the period in which a political party can provide information of their candidates for 2027 election

3. INEC cannot give a shorter timeframe to political parties as regards withdrawal or replacement of candidates (Placeholders)

4. INEC cannot publish any final list of candidates for 2027 elections before 60 days to election.

5. INEC cannot fix 2027 campaigns to end 2 days to elections.

6. This is AN ORDER nullifying and setting aside the timeframes imposed by INEC for 2027 General Election for:

– the conduct of primary elections by political parties for the 2027 general elections

– the submission of personal particulars of candidates by their political parties for the 2027 general elections

– the withdrawal and replacement of candidates by political parties

– the publication of the final list of candidates for the 2027 general elections and campaigning.

Is this a trap or a game changer for some aspirants???

A Rivers State politician, Blessing Fubara, has declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Rivers State under the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.

The politician has already obtained both the nomination and expression of interest forms needed to participate in the governorship race ahead of the 2027 election.

Blessing Fubara shares the same surname and local government area with the current Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

Both men are from Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area. However, there has been no confirmation that they are family members.

The Chairman of the NDC in Rivers State, Success Jack, confirmed that Blessing Fubara is among those seeking the party’s governorship ticket.

He also stated that he could not confirm whether the governorship aspirant is related to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

According to him, the party is preparing seriously for the 2027 general elections and hopes to win not only the governorship seat but other elective positions in Rivers State.

The development comes weeks after Blessing Fubara left the All Progressives Congress and joined the NDC.

Following his defection in Abuja, he was received by former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, alongside other leaders and members of the party.

After joining the NDC, Blessing Fubara said his decision was taken for the interest of Rivers people.

He also stated that the future of the state must be protected ahead of the next general election, expressing confidence that the state would experience positive changes after the 2027 polls.

Surulere I lawmaker Desmond Elliot has withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress Lagos House of Assembly primaries, citing intimidation across multiple zones.

In a viral video posted online, the lawmaker said he was stepping out of the race despite seeking re-election under the APC. He alleged that his supporters faced intimidation during the process in several parts of the constituency.

Elliot’s decision came as the primaries held across Lagos on Tuesday. Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila, who represents Surulere Federal Constituency, praised the conduct of the exercise in Surulere, describing it as peaceful.

The withdrawal narrows the contest for the APC ticket in Surulere I ahead of the 2027 general election. Party officials in Lagos have not yet responded to Elliot’s claims, and the APC state chapter has not announced whether the primary in the constituency will proceed with other aspirants.

Elliot has represented Surulere I in the Lagos State House of Assembly since 2015.
