Wike: Fubara Can Still Have Second Term As Rivers Governor – Primate Ayodele

Primate Elijah Ayodele, Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, stated on Friday that reinstated Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara still has the potential to secure a second term in office.

This is coming after speculation suggests the governor may not be allowed to go for a second term in office due to the crisis he had with his predecessor.

Some also claim that part of the agreement for him to return to power was to forget about a second term in office.

However, Primate Ayodele revealed that Fubara can still have a second term in office if he seeks the face of God and stay loyal to Wike.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele noted that part of his loyalty to Wike would include technically ceding the position of the deputy governor to the assembly speaker, as his chosen deputy would be a figurehead.

He said: “Fubara can still get a second term if he seeks the face of God and is obedient to his principal, Nyesom Wike. He should also note that his acting deputy governor would be the speaker of the state, his chosen deputy would be more of a figurehead.”

He also noted that the state won’t be totally peaceful and that some of Fubara’s allies will cause a crisis because they will be angry with him.

Primate Ayodele claimed that the fight between Wike and Fubara isn’t over, as the latter would be used to check the FCT minister.

“Rivers state won’t be fully peaceful because of the indecision of Fubara; he won’t be taken seriously anymore, and some of his allies will be angry with him.

“Fubara and Wike will still fight; it’s not yet over, and the governor will be used to check Wike politically.”

Furthermore, he commended the president for saving the state from calamity.

“Tinubu saved River State from calamity and bloodbath because without it, the state would have been forgotten. Several things would have happened in the state, but the state of emergency cautioned everyone,” he added.
