A top lawyer called out politicians for fighting while people suffer. Senior Advocate Olisa Agbakoba slammed the political class over the Rivers State crisis. He stated these conflicts show leaders have no real interest in the citizens. The ongoing turmoil involves Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
Agbakoba criticized the pointless power struggle, suggesting it aims for the 2027 elections. He noted the governor switched from the PDP to the APC under pressure. The lawyer expressed confusion over what more could be demanded after that concession. He emphasized that ordinary Rivers people are completely ignored in this feud.
The situation highlights widespread government failure across all sectors in Nigeria. Politicians from various parties focus only on their own interests. Agbakoba argued that they forget they were elected by the votes of the people. This infighting breeds suffering and poverty for the entire population. The legal expert personally supports neither side of the dispute.
