EXPOSED: The Secret Tinubu Deal That Ended Fubara From Day One — What Wike Just Confirmed

On May 20, 2026, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State walked into the APC governorship screening exercise — and walked out without being cleared. Days later, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike went on camera and confirmed what had been rumoured for months: Fubara had allegedly agreed not to seek a second term as part of a deal to stop his impeachment. In this episode of 9ja Insider Report, we trace the full timeline of the Rivers State crisis — from Wike handpicking Fubara as his successor in 2022, through three impeachment attempts, a six-month state of emergency declared by President Tinubu in March 2025, four presidential interventions at the Villa, Fubara's defection to the APC, his reported disqualification in APC screening, and the withdrawal statement that referenced "what a hunter sees in the forest." We break down the deal, the institutions, the constitutional questions, and what this means for every elected governor in Nigeria. No bias. No filter. Just the facts.
