Opunabo Inkor Tariah, former Special Adviser on Media to former Governor Nyesom Wike, has voiced his strong belief that Governor Siminalayi Fubara will get a second term if he chooses to run in 2027.
Responding to Wikeโs latest comments, Opunabo asserted that Fubaraโs โmass-oriented projectsโ across all 23 local government areas of Rivers State have received widespread support from the people. He stated emphatically that no one, including Wike, has the authority to stop Fubaraโs re-election campaign.
โPower comes from God,โ Opunabo said. โWike ruled for eight years, and Rotimi Amaechi also ruled for eight years. It is only natural that Fubara served two terms.โ

Opunabo also challenged Wikeโs assertion that Fubara had โviolated the lawโ and failed to comply with the presidentโs eight-point peace agreement. He called the agreement โlopsidedโ and โbiasedโ, arguing that it favoured Wike over the country.
โThe governor has shown gratitude to Wike for his role in his election, but that does not mean he should be dictated to,โ Opunabo said. โFubara will not sacrifice the nationโs finances to serve Wikeโs interests.โ
This statement comes amid rising tensions between Wike and Fubara, with Wike openly stating his refusal to support Fubara’s re-election bid.
