Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on Nigeria’s National Assembly to overturn Siminalayi Fubara’s removal as governor of Rivers State. He criticized President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, labeling it reckless and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

Peter Obi shared this statement on X on Wednesday, following Tinubu’s announcement of the state of emergency on Tuesday. As a former governor of Anambra state, Obi expressed concerns about the implications of the decision.<\/p>\n

Recall that President Bola Tinubu justified his decision to declare state of emergency in Rivers state<\/a> by citing unresolved crises, a breakdown of law and order, insecurity and an explosion.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he suspended Siminalayi Fubara and his Deputy, Ngozi Odu for six months.<\/p>\n

Tinubu also appointed Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas as the administrator of Rivers State.<\/p>\n

This decision has sparked reactions across Nigeria.<\/p>\n

In response, Peter Obi warned that Tinubu’s actions push the country back into instability and lawlessness.<\/p>\n

He urged that the National Assembly and other stakeholders to overturn the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unilateral decision of President Bola Tinubu to remove Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State from office is not only unconstitutional but also reckless.<\/em><\/p>\n

It has plunged us back into a state of lawlessness, undoing the progress we have made in these 26 years of democracy.<\/em><\/p>\n

By disregarding the rule of law, the President has shown a dangerous willingness to trample on democracy,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI appeal to the National Assembly and all stakeholders not to allow this to stand, as it only deepens the culture of impunity and brigandage already threatening our democracy,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n
