“Fubara is The First South-South Governor to Benefit Directly From Pres. Bola Tinubu “-George Turnah

According to a video posted on YouTube by Eset tv, George Turnah has laid bare the desperate behind-the-scenes moves of several governors scrambling for survival.

Speaking candidly at a gathering, Turnah pulled no punches as he revealed how some South-South leaders, including Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, are quietly “begging for life” and hustling to align with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a bid to stay politically relevant ahead of 2027.

“This boat where I follow, they know they abandon who follow them,” Turnah declared passionately, evoking loud applause from the crowd.

His words, thick with meaning, highlight the growing realization that loyalty and political survival are now inextricably linked to President Bola Tinubu’s rising influence.

Turnah did not mince words when he pointed out that Fubara, once seen as a strongman in the South-South, is now a “direct beneficiary of the magnanimity of President Bola.”

Unlike other governors who are still hoping for help, he stressed, Fubara has already “received the help” during the last election cycle.

Yet, instead of stepping to the forefront in gratitude and allegiance, Turnah criticized the governor’s hesitant stance, warning, “Ungratefulness is a disease.”

The emotions ran even higher when Turnah lamented the use of live bullets against their own people.

“Why they go shoot our people? Life bullet for here! We never reach campaign!” he cried out, painting a chilling picture of the growing tensions and betrayals within the region’s political corridors.

With 2027 looming larger on the horizon, Turnah made an open call for clarity from Governor Dax, another key figure in the South-South.

“I want to formally call on Governor Dax to immediately declare his stance on 2027 presidency known so that Bayelsa can know where we are going to,” he insisted.

“If he’s supporting Tinubu, let him come out and tell us.” The audience listened intently, sensing the critical stakes involved.

In a rallying cry to his followers, Turnah solidified his position, saying, "If our governor tomorrow says he’s supporting Tinubu, we’ll work with him.

If he’s not going to support Tinubu, we will govern to deliver." His words echoed a sentiment of unity, resolve, and the need for strategic alliances that transcend mere personal ambition.

As he wrapped up his heartfelt message, Turnah extended gratitude to the many loyalists who have stood by him and the cause. "I thank you for your support and prayers.

This day would not have been possible if not for your support. Thank you for standing by us," he said with visible emotion. Acknowledging allies like Elvis Dr. Maz and Dr. Mutin, Turnah vowed that, "No harm will come your way," a touching promise that resonated deeply with his listeners.

The speech not only exposed the secret hustling of governors but also set the tone for the fierce political battles ahead. As the South-South region braces for a heated realignment, one thing is clear: loyalty will no longer be assumed—it must be declared openly and acted upon.
