Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, received some unexpected advise from a prominent PDP member. Renowned PDP leader Segun Showunmi believes that Governor Fubara erred greatly in his handling of former governor Nyesom Wike.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Showunmi shared his thoughts during a chat on Arise TV, a popular news channel in Nigeria.
He believes Fubara shouldn’t have started a fight with Wike so quickly after becoming governor.
The main problem, according to Showunmi, is that Fubara didn’t make sure he had enough friends in the state’s law-making group before picking a fight.
This group, called the State Assembly, is very important in Nigerian politics.
Showunmi explained, “If you want to fight, why would you start before you’ve got lots of assembly members on your side?”
He thinks this was a silly move by Fubara.

In Ogun, a governor named Ibikunle Amosun did things differently when he faced a similar problem.
Amosun became governor even though most of the important people in the state supported someone else.
But instead of rushing into a fight, Amosun took his time to make friends with the right people.
Showunmi said, “Amosun cleverly managed himself and took enough time to make sure that the assembly was on his side.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
