Kogbara made the remarks on Thursday during a live interview on Arise News, where she commented on the escalating political tensions in Rivers State.
She was reacting to Governor Fubara’s reported withdrawal from the APC primaries, a development that has continued to generate debate within political circles in the state.
According to Donu Kogbara, the situation between Governor Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had reached a critical point where the governor was left with limited political options.
“It was a complete surrender of a very weak man,” Kogbara said during the broadcast.
The journalist further argued that Governor Fubara either had to fully resist political pressure or concede, describing the withdrawal as a significant turning point in the ongoing power struggle within Rivers State politics.
She also noted that she had previously supported Governor Fubara during earlier political tensions, stating that her position was based on the belief that he was being unfairly treated.
