A public affairs analyst, Adeniyi Ifetayo, has suggested that Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, is not desperate to hold onto power, following the delay of his resumption after reinstatement.

Naijaonpoint recalls that Fubara, his deputy, and members of the State Assembly were reinstated on September 17 after the six-month state of emergency imposed on the state in March was suspended.

While the lawmakers resume plenary with immediate effect, Fubara disappointed his supporters who had stormed the Rivers State Government House expecting his return.

Ifetayo, while responding to questions in an interview on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ programme, said that he does not see Fubara joining the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said, “I don’t see that coming. If you look at it even when he was called back, if he were someone who is desperate to hold onto the power, I’m sure he would have jumped into office immediately but it took him 24-48 hours before he resumed.

“And since the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike said he has forgiven him, let’s see that he has forgiven him indeed and he has forgotten about what what happened in the past. Maybe they will allow him to run for the second term.”
