Governor Siminalayi Fubara dropped the hammer at midnight. His executive order dissolved the Rivers PDP’s entire grassroots leadership in one stroke. The loyalists who built his campaign woke up to pink slips. No warning. No consultation. Just political execution. The streets are boiling.
The old guard controlled the state’s purse strings. They owned the party machine. They lost everything. Their proteges are sacked. Their influence is gone. Fubara’s men are already rewriting the state’s financial ledgers. This isn’t reform. It’s a hostile takeover of Rivers’ monthly billions.
The sacked executives raced to court. They want the Federal High Court to bury Fubara’s order. INEC holds the next card. Recognise the new structure, and the old guard becomes history. Reject it, and the governor’s administration collapses under injunctions. Every contract. Every appointment. Every naira spent. All frozen.
APC and Labour Party vultures are circling. They’re offering cash, protection, and fresh party cards to the discarded PDP foot soldiers. The price? High. Fubara’s gamble may cost the PDP its dominance.
This isn’t politics. It’s a blood sport. The governor has staked his entire future on one move. Win, and he becomes Rivers’ untouchable king. Lose, and he faces impeachment, rebellions, and a state on fire. The young loyalists who carried his banners are already yesterday’s news. Their careers ended with a single signature.
