The senate house has gone into an exclusive meeting to deliberate on Tinubu’s emergency rule declaration in Rivers state and suspension of Governor Fubara, his vice along with other elected state officials.
The Senate on Thursday adjourned into a closed session following the reading of a letter by President Godswill Akpabio from President Bola Tinubu.
The session was convened after Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele moved a motion pursuant to Order 135 of the Senate Standing Orders, which was seconded by Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro.
Recall that on Tuesday March 18, Tinubu in a nationwide broadcast had declared a state of emergency in Rivers state following the lingering political crisis and uproar in the state.
President Tinubu also announced the suspension of Governor Fubara effective immediately, and additionally announced the appointment of Ex Vice Admiral Ibas for a period of six months.
