Comrade Austin Ozobo, the National President of the Ijaw Peoples Development Initiative (IPDI), has stated that there is nothing to celebrate in the return and resumption of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
“Actually we are not celebrating it; there is nothing new to be celebrated,” Ozobo said in an interview with newsmen in Warri.
He said the Rivers governor’s suspension by President Bola Tinubu was “illegal, undemocratic and unconstitutional”.
“As a civilian president, he (Tinubu) does not have the constitutional right to suspend a democratic elected governor.
“We are just advising Mr. President to stop all this lawlessness because what he has done could set a bad precedence and it could cause tension if not for the fact that the youths of that state were able to calm themselves down.
“It is a bad precedence he has set and we are advising him to desist from such in the future because his actions are barbaric and unlawful,” Ozobo added.
Rivers State has been under emergency rule ordered by President Tinubu over a political dispute between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
