The movement of Governor Siminalayi Fubara was unknown on Tuesday night when the military moved trucks into Rivers Government House in Port Harcourt.

The trucks were placed within and outside the Government House on the first night of the State of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu declared emergency rule amid the attacks on oil installations in Rivers State.

Some militants groups had threatened to blow up pipelines if the Rivers House of Assembly impeach Fubara.

However, hours after the lawmakers served the governor with notice of alleged misconduct, the militants carried out their threat.

Responding, the president suspended Fubara and the lawmakers for sic months, appointing an for the state.

After the declaration, about 10 military trucks patroled the road leading to the Government House main gate while armoured vehicles were seen at strategic positions within the road leading to the Government House gate.

The road leading to Government House from the popular UTC junction was deserted as residents made efforts to get back to their respective houses.

A resident of Port Harcourt who pleaded anonymity told our reporter that military trucks were found all over the area.

“The road leading to Government House from the Issac Boro park to the popular UTC is deserted. Residents are making efforts to get back to their respective homes as nobody wants to be caught in a cross fire. I saw about 10 military trucks parading the road leading to Government House. There are other armoured tanks that have been stationed at both entrance road leading to Government House,” the sources said.

Our reporter could not confirm if Fubara had vacated Government House as of press time but sources from Government House informed our reporter that the governor might have a premonition of the State of emergency.

The source said the governor held several meetings with of the suspended state Executive council throughout the day.

A former Commissioner who spoke with our reporter briefly on phone said he could not speak at length because was having a meeting with the governor, promising to call back later, but he never did as of press time.

Ok

He will save his head first by changing location.. he understands the gravity of what is on ground.
He should have listened to voice of reason.

Ignore the liar below.. SW wants the best for SS at all times, reason only a President from SW will appoint SS son as FCT Minister.

Fubara is in UK.

FUBARA is now in ugochinyere boys quarters in imo state

Interesting times ahead. At least, BAT and his cohorts would use what's happening in Rivers state to shift attention/focus..

Again, this might lead to another civil crisis war. The Ijaws are really angry, feeling cheated/disrespected by Wike (he recently called them "minority of the minorities" in Rivers state)..

Make I suffry grab my popcorn and cold Pepsi ...

I don't know why Yorubas hate SS like this.

You left Zamafara, left Benue, left Katsina and other Northern states ravaged by bandits just to declare state of emergency in Rivers in less than 24 hours.


Southern Nigeria indeed.

.

Elders will say '' it only a stubborn fly that follows the dead body to the grave ''. Fubara should be arrested and put under house arrest.

All yolobas are celebrating

In parts of the south south, they have festivals where they celebrate their liberation from the hands of Igbos during the war. They celebrate Yorubas for delivering them from Igbos.

Serves everyone right.

Pachukudi44 and others
You have carried your bad luck and give this innocent Fubara too

Hes in Anambala

Tinubu seriously goofed. He blames the governor for the bombing of pipelines saying that the governor made no moves to stop the bombings and that he didn't request for help.

But the DSS which is an intel gathering agency is not answerable to the governor. If the DSS failed to identify threats to the pipelines, how is that Fubara's fault?

Futhermore, Tinata is a contractor currently engaged by the federal government to protect pipelines. If Tinata failed to do their jobs, why is that on Fubara?

Wike has spent the past several days making highly inflammatory statements. The same Wike still sits in the federal executive council meetings and has not been called to order.

This crisis, potentially escalatory as it is, could have long been contained. Never in the history of Nigeria, has a minister under the employ of the federal government, proceeded to make his state ungovernable for the sitting governor the way Wike has.

This brings the question, what does Wike have on Tinubu? There is no way this ends well for Tinubu in 2027. Wike has burned too many bridges. At this point he is too much of a liability to anyone.

Today's events are a shameful turn. It calls into question Tinubu's supposed political sagacity and acumen.

I won't be surprised if all the pipelines in the area started going up in flames courtesy those creek boys.
