Sim Fubara’s Lack of Courage Under Fire

One of the key strengths of a godfather is his ability to secure the services of the weakest in his circle to either succeed him or be given a strategic appointment. That is rule 101 of godfatherism, a rule President Tinubu has used to maximum effect. Shebi you see when he went against the rule with Fashola, and Ambode where it got him.

Wike, a master in the game, followed that rule to the letter. This Sim is seamless. Even his demeanour is that of a man lacking in spine, a man without the courage to look into the eyes of the demon and say “You know what, get thee behind me.” Even while watching him speak, you can sense the fear. It is almost like sending a chicken to a fight with a bulldog. The outcome will be very very predictable.

Wike is a bully, one of the worst you can ever find. It is for this reason; he will never go against anybody with the same level of strength. Check his political career, apart from Amaechi, every other person he has gone against have been very weak people. Weak by body constitution or weakened by circumstances like Atiku in the last elections.

Sim is the weakest of them all. Even me sef, can chance this Sim.  Wike is just slapping that one up and down the place and running the state like we do not have a chief executive. I used to wonder how a whole state governor with all the constitutional backing and the full access will not open the vault and fight this Wike to the end even if it means after the fight, submitting himself to EFCC for prosecution.

If Wike could open the Rivers State Vault to disgrace himself in a very harried and ego-driven meaningless Presidential campaign, then why can’t Sim also open the same Vault and fight Wike to the end?

Anybody who is supporting Sim is just wasting his time, because this is not the Ondo Deputy Governor who fought everybody to a standstill, or a Fayose or even a Wike. This is a jelly who will still, I am very sure, be sending people to be begging Wike at night.

Abi, how do you explain attending a meeting in Aso Rock? A meeting called by a very involved President who has not shown any ounce of statesmanship on this matter or any matter for that matter, and a Chief of Staff who provided office space for Wike to be dancing and singing – on your mandate? What exactly was Sim expecting to come out of that kind of meeting? The question to be asked is would Tinubu have dared to invite Wike to that kind of meeting if Wike was Sim? We all know what Wike would have told Tinubu if he had dared.

This Sim no be am o. Just sad that Wike had won this war, even before the war started and that Fayose had warned us o. For me, I am already standing at Sim’s impeachment. Do not kid yourself, it will happen. I swear on my mother’s grave, Wike will still impeach this boy scout. We came to this fight with a spineless sim. Seriously.

The only hope is if Tonye Cole can manage an upset through the Supreme Court and where that fails, we will continue to have Rivers under the absolute control of an unpredictable political bully – Nyesom Wike. Sad.
