IN his 1961 book, The Theatre of the Absurd, Martin Julius Esslin, a Hungarian-born British journalist and professor of drama, lamented what he called absurdism, “the inevitable devaluation of ideals, purity, and purpose.”

What manner of democracy is this where one man captures an entire state and all citizens become mere pawns on his political chess board? But dismantled, the structure must be, if the state will have any fair chance of breathing and making any appreciable progress. And this is not about Governor Siminalayi Fubara but the health of the country’s much-abused democracy and public good.

Explaining what he did at a New Year luncheon in his country home, Rumueprikom, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Sunday, January 7, 2024, Wike said: “Those who open their mouths to talk don’t know anything. I was the one who paid for the forms for anybody who wanted to run for elections as governor, House of Assembly and National Assembly. Let one person raise his hand and say he bought forms.”

This is not the language of democracy which is a government where people exercise the power of deciding who governs them. There is no evidence that he inherited any family fortune that would account for the wealth he is using to finance the structure that has become a problem for Rivers State.
