Political analyst and Rivers State stakeholder Maoboye Nangi has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of misleading his supporters by entering multiple agreements with his political mentor Nyesom Wike without informing them and said the governor’s withdrawal from the race was the result of those deals coming to light.
Speaking on News Central TV, Nangi made this statement while rejecting the idea that Fubara faced external pressure to step aside from his ambition for reelection. He said the governor had never been truthful with the people of Rivers State and had consistently hidden the terms of his arrangements with Wike.
According to Nangi, Fubara struck about four or five agreements that he kept from the public, and the current political fallout was simply the outcome of him being forced to honor those agreements.
He said he personally cut ties with the governor once it became clear that Fubara had agreed not to run for a second term. He argued that this lack of transparency was the main reason for the political tensions and reprisals in the state and that Fubara had only been deceiving his followers while pretending otherwise.
He dismissed the governor’s recent stakeholders meeting as emotional manipulation, stating that Fubara prioritized his own interests over those of his supporters. Nangi said Rivers people should not support a leader who makes secret deals, mobilizes people to the streets, and then returns to those same agreements.
In his words, “I think there’s nothing like pressure here. There’s no pressure. The governor has never been very truthful to people in the state.”
