President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in a bold move to address escalating political tensions in Rivers State, has announced the suspension of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Deputy Governor Mrs. Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for an initial six-month period. The announcement was made during a nationwide broadcast on Tuesday, emphasizing the need to restore stability and effective governance in the oil-rich state.
The decision comes as Rivers State grapples with a prolonged power struggle between the governor and key political stakeholders, leading to legislative conflicts and disruptions in governance.
President Tinubu stated, “By this declaration, the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Mrs. Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the House of Assembly of Rivers State are hereby suspended for an initial period of six months.”
While the President did not elaborate on the legal framework for this suspension, the move has sparked widespread debate about its constitutional implications. Political analysts predict that this development will ignite discussions on governance and the balance of power in the state.
As of now, there has been no official response from Governor Fubara, his deputy, or the Rivers State House of Assembly. The situation remains fluid, with more updates expected in the coming days.
Stay tuned for the latest developments on this unfolding political saga.
