Atiku’s Men Show of Shame: President Tinubu is Too Politically Sagacious to Trust Fubara, Others – CRP
Concerned Rivers People, CRP, on Thursday took a swipe at Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Abiye Sekibo, Austin Opara and other dyed-in-the-wool Atiku Abubakar acolytes who addressed a media conference to curry support for the treacherous and failing Fubara while laughably claiming to support President Bola Tinubu.
These are men of zero honour and integrity in whose DNA flows deceit and disloyalty.
The Concerned Rivers People, CRP, in a statement issued and signed by its coordinator, Davidson Daniel, on Thursday evening declared as follows:
“If Fubara could overnight turn around to betray former Governor Nyesom Wike who toiled and brought him from total obscurity to prominence as governor, then who on earth can he not betray?
“As for the others, Abiye Sekibo, Uche Secondus, Austin Opara, Celestine Omehia, Lee Maeba, etc, they’re all birds of a feather. Their collective defining characteristics are deceit and treachery. As Atiku’s foot soldiers who literally moved heaven and earth to ensure victory for Atiku in February 2023 election but failed because Nyesom Wike’s political might and strategy towers above them, they have shamelessly come out to deceive the public by pledging their non-existent support for President Tinubu.
“Unfortunately for them, President Tinubu is too politically adroit and exposed to fall for cheap gimmicks from men of known unstable history and record levels of betrayal and treachery.
“We know them too well in Rivers State, and we know that the common strand that connects them all is what is generally referred to as stomach infrastructure in political terms.
“President Tinubu should beware of these men of no political or moral values and whose sole motivation is their stomach.
President Bola Tinubu has departed Galeao Air force Basa (SBGL) Airport, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Saturday, for Abuja after attending the 19th G20 Leaders Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The President is due to arrive at the Presidential Wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 10.00 p.m. (Nigerian time).
President Tinubu had attended the G20 Leaders summit where he endorsed the global alliance against hunger and poverty, which he said was pivotal.
The President also held bilateral talks with Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), who commended his administration’s economic reforms and their positive indicators.
He also presided over the signing of a 2.5 billion dollar Letter of Intent between the Nigerian government and the JBS S.A., a Brazilian company and one of the top three largest meat processing companies in the World.
The president was accompanied in the trip by senior government officials including the minister of foreign affairs yusuf Tuggar, the national security adviser, Nuhu RIBADU and many others.
In commemoration of this year’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the House of Representatives will lead a landmark march on Monday, November 25, 2024, along with other strategic activities as part of its unwavering commitment to eradicating gender-based violence (GBV) in Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement issued by the HoR spokesperson, Rotimi Akin, Jr on Saturday.
According to him the march, which starts at 8:00 AM, will bring together over 1,000 participants – including Representatives and members of the public – on a symbolic walk from the National Assembly to the Headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force.
This demonstration of solidarity will culminate in the submission of a petition to the Inspector General of Police, demanding decisive action to safeguard vulnerable populations and ensure accountability for perpetrators of GBV.
“This march and the associated activities are not just symbolic gestures, they reflect our resolve and call to action against gender-based violence head-on,” said Hon. Abbas Tajudeen,, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“We stand united in the fight to protect the rights and dignity of all Nigerians, especially the most vulnerable. Together, through collective action and legislative reforms, we can build a society where safety, justice, and equality prevail.”

This summit will conclude the 16 Days of Activism with discussions on constitutional reforms and securing endorsements for gender equality initiatives championed by the House.
The House of Representatives invites all Nigerians to *participate in this historic march on Monday, November 25, 2024.* Participants will receive orange T-shirts—the official colour of the United Nations campaign to end violence against women—symbolising hope for a future free of violence.
