The Suspended Throne: Tinubu, Fubara, and the Impeachable Gamble


Title: The Suspended Throne: Tinubu, Fubara, and the Impeachable Gamble

The drums of democracy once beat proudly in Rivers State, but now, a chilling silence loomed. The king had been unseated.

News struck like a bolt of lightning—Governor Sim Fubara, suspended by decree of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The nation gasped. A governor removed? By presidential might alone? The Constitution trembled under the weight of the act.

Then, from the shadows of history, a voice rose—sharp as a blade, fierce as a storm. Rotimi Amaechi.

"This is an impeachable offence!" he declared, his words a cannon blast against the fortress of power.

He spoke not as a bystander, but as a man who had walked the corridors of governance, who had fought and won battles on these very grounds. His accusations were not whispers—they were war cries.

"A president may declare a state of emergency, but he cannot dethrone an elected governor! That is not democracy; that is dictatorship."

The people murmured. The air grew thick with tension. Obasanjo tried it and was scorned. Jonathan knew better and held back. But Tinubu? He had crossed the Rubicon.

In the alleys of power, the truth simmered: this was never just about law. It was a chessboard of dominance, a battlefield of loyalty and betrayal. Amaechi unveiled the hidden war—a feud of money, power, and shattered alliances between Fubara and Wike, the once-mighty godfather of Rivers.

The streets of Port Harcourt whispered—Was this about governance? Or about those who wished to rule unseen?

The final blow fell on March 18. With the stroke of an iron pen, Tinubu declared a state of emergency. The governor, his deputy, the assembly—all dissolved. In their place, a new ruler was crowned: Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, the president’s chosen one.

The world watched. The opposition trembled. The Constitution wept.

But in the heart of Nigeria, one question burned like wildfire:

Would power go unchecked? Or was this the spark of a storm yet to come?
