US EditionWhy I chose weakness in my battle against Wike – Gov Fubara
Governor Fubara calls his conciliatory stance a deliberate strategy for stability and political survival amid a three-year conflict with predecessor Wike.
- On Friday in Lagos, Fubara explained he chose 'weakness' as a deliberate tactic to survive and protect interests, calling it 'a virtue.'
- Repeated presidential interventions aim to calm Rivers State's power struggle, with Wike fighting from outside to influence Fubara, prompting Tinubu's third effort for peace.
- Dissolving the state Executive Council on Thursday, Fubara conceded to placate RSHA members loyal to Wike and survived by playing the underdog with calm, deft maneuvers.
- With ordinary citizens sidelined, commentators urge Fubara to mobilise people power and conduct statewide sensitisation to restore public participation in governance.
- Commentators argue Fubara must change strategy—engaging the populace beyond media narratives and deploying broader mobilisation—because resort to presidential intervention has yielded mixed results, as Wike boasts he will produce the next governorship in Rivers State.
