The unilateral decision of President Bola Tinubu to remove Governor Similaya Fubara of Rivers State from office is not only unconstitutional but also reckless.

It has plunged us back into a state of lawlessness, hugely undoing the progress we have made in these 26 years of democratic journey.

By disregarding the rule of law, the President has shown a dangerous willingness to trample on democracy.

The declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State is not just reckless—it is a clear attempt to return us to a state of nature and tighten its grip on power at all costs.

It is a degrading back door imposition of martial rule on a strategic part of the federation with all the implied negatives .

The political situation on the ground in Rivers does not justify such an extreme measure, and it is also a biased interpretation of section 305(1) of the 1999 constitution.

A state of emergency does not mean an elected Governor can be removed unilaterally. This decision does not align with democratic norms or good governance. Instead, it appears to be a predetermined action serving specific interests rather than the collective good of the people of Rivers State and Nigeria.

This action constitutes an unconstitutional overreach, setting a dangerous precedent that threatens democracy, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. If left unchecked, it could foster a culture of impunity.

Having already been grappling with non-adherence to electoral qualifications, rules, and massive rigging, adding arbitrary removal of elected officials will push us to a state of nature and anarchy.

I appeal to the National Assembly and all stakeholders not to allow this to stand, as it only deepens the culture of impunity and brigand already threatening our democracy.

A new Nigeria is POssible!

Yes daddy, you can do your worst

So bad Nigeria is ruled by mafias and path to our recovery seems so far away.
Power drunk Wike can go any lenght to get his way but all I know is that power is transient and nothing lasts forever.

Love him loads. I was very sad with him last night because I thought the statement I read was his released statement on the declaration of SOE in river state.

But I can see that he indeed is topnotch, and so I take back my statement.

You still got my .

Mr condemmer

Bitter grievingory Obi is embittered, disgruntled and bereaved, so the president should fold his hands and do nothing when militants have started bombing oil installation as Fubara promised he will still order his boys when time comes.

This is how unreasonable "Hate" can make you to be

Peter Obi The Hyena. Always looking out to feast on leftovers of news and something to comment on. What did you say about the matter before now? The law is silent on the suspension of the Governor. The NASS is expected to rise up to the occasion and specifically name a sole as the law abhors vacuum.

Tinubu think this nonsense will save him come 2027

wetin una wan talk now

How many times una wan post dis thing reaction?

So Obi can address PBAT as president?

We have derailed as a Nation. The leadership is disastrous, unimaginably incompetent and corrupt.

This government reached the lowest low in human history.

Old age will never change a man from what he truly is.

Nothing democratic about APC. Also nothing productive about them. Life has gotten 100 times harder for Nigerians since APC came in. And it will keep getting worse until they are voted out because they clearly know nothing about nation building and governance. Let us vote for people who know what they're doing and understand the meaning of important numbers. Statistics is everything o. If you disregard statistics, then you will buy one bag of rice for N500k

Wahala tie gele pour kaikai for eye

ROBOT 😆

Whoever sees this Peter OBI reaction as a news na big FOOL


What else do you expect him to say as a frustrated opposition figure?


TikTok baddie 😆

Obi is no longer thinking strait these days.. It seems he's sucking up into these old corrupt cargoes for visibility and acceptance.. Now he's already looking like them. I mean I can Obi saw an opportunity as this for constructive opposition only to write and send that first prosaically weightless letter he wrote yday

The tiktoker that got the advice from a man.

Well said
It is nothing but A power grab.

Nothing concern Pluto boys

Dede remove your mouth from this action, leave them alone, they know what they are doing, remove your mouth you won't listen.
..they will soon say you are the cause of the emergency here on internet 😠😠😠

Peter Obi has gone to redraft his reaction to the declaration of state of emergency in Rivers State because most people criticized his previous comment as being too watery

Anything you do, don't die in their battle. Nobody cares about you in this country.

We all can see how national attention swift shifted from the NYSC lady complaining about cost of living to conversation about state of emergency.

That shows how short Nigerians attention span are. When the chips are down, you and your family will be the only one to bear it.

The same people will claim they fought for democracy, hypocrites.
