Ifetayo: Fubara Has No Desperation to Cling to Power in Rivers

After his reinstatement, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has delayed his return to office, raising suspicions that he is not desperate to stay in office, according to public affairs analyst Adeniyi Ifetayo.
The state had been placed under a six-month state of emergency in March, but on September 17, Fubara, his deputy, and members of the State Assembly were reinstated.

Despite the parliamentarians’ rapid return to plenary, Fubara let down his fans who had flocked to the Rivers State Government House in anticipation of his arrival.

In an interview with Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief,” Ifetayo stated that he did not anticipate Fubara joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) in response to inquiries.

It’s not something I see coming,” he remarked. Looking at it, even after being summoned back, he took 24 to 48 hours to return to office. If he were someone who was frantic to keep his job, I’m sure he would have stepped right in.

And now that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has declared his forgiveness, let’s make sure he has truly forgiven him and has moved on from the past. Perhaps they will let him run for a second term.
