Wike, Fubara and the Kerfuffle in Rivers, By Simbo Olorunfemi
There has to be a greater chance that the demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex might actually have something to do with failure of integrity test, as has been put out by the demolition squad, than that the kerfuffle in the state could possibly have anything to do with the good and welfare of the people. It…

Amanze Obi’s spiral of lies, By Bayo Onanuga
On Monday 11 December, I stumbled on the 6th, in the series of opinions about the last general election being peddled by Daily Sun columnist, Amanze Obi.

For Buhari, the kind hearted toughie at 81, By Femi Adesina
From his days as an iron fisted military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari had cut the image of a brutal, no nonsense person, without a drop of milk of human kindness. Not so. People often condemn who or what they don’t understand. Yes, he can be reserved, aloof, unflappable, and even stern. I remember when news of Bukola Saraki’s defection, along with…

Rivers political impasse: Wike declaration of war against Ijaw Nation is a joke taken too far, By Wisdom Ikuli
Barr. Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike the self-acclaimed political leader of the Niger Delta is doing everything to give ethnic coloration to his unguided, misdirected political onslaught against his successor Gov.

It’s time for Minister Wike to face his job and leave Governor Fubara alone! By Jesutega Onokpasa
I think it’s time for those of us of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to tell ourselves some blunt and bitter truths regarding the presently unfolding crisis in Rivers State. It is quite easy and tempting to be inclined to blame the crisis on the alleged betrayal by Governor Sim Fubara of his predecessor and political godfather, former Governor Nyesom…
