The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDPGF) has vowed to challenge the suspension of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and other elected officials of the state in court.

On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu declared a State of Emergency in Rivers, suspending the governor, his deputy and of the State House of Assembly.

In a statement signed by its chairman, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, the PDP governors asked the President to accept that he had made a mistake and reverse the decision.

The forum accused the President of bias, noting his failure to acknowledge the role played by his Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, in fueling the political crisis in Rivers.

Part of the statement said, “We stand in solidarity with Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the good people of Rivers State at this very difficult and trying moment of the state’s political history. There is no other time that our philosophy of ‘TOUCH ONE TOUCH ALL’ is more apt than now.

“He who goes to the court of equity must go with clean hands. Mr. President , your silence on the active role played by your Minister of the FCT in the Rivers ime is golden and enabling. He has become a law unto himself because he was playing out your script. Now we know. This is totally unstatemanly, biased, and divisive.

“We state categorically that this unwarranted but premeditated attack on Rivers State and the Peoples Democratic Party and other opposition parties is today, the greatest threat to democracy in our dear country.

“Nigeria and it is an ill wind that will blow no one any good. It is a dangerous course of action that will not only endanger our hard won democracy, but will exacerbate the crises in the nation, deepen mistrust, elevate security threats, destroy the economy, and our national cohesion and stability.”

The Governors also said ” The Forum completely aligns itself with the position of the NBA and promises to subject Section 305 (3) of the Constitution to judicial interpretation. This authoritarian shenanigan is unacceptable and cannot stand.

“Mr President is therefore called upon to listen to wise counsel and the voice of reason, as well as accept that he made grevious mistakes and acted in haste, and reverse this atrocious and retrograde decision before it is too late.”

Without delay, that’s the way to go.

Why didn't they wade into the crises in time

Says who? Bunch of losers!
Ordinary Wike they could not managed till he metamorphose into a monster.

Pdp and cho cho cho,they should get their shit in order,never seen an opposition this toothless and disorganized!

Challenge in corrupt judiciary. What PDP governors should have done was to expell Wike from PDP.

Lets haviit

Jesus Christ the Only Way Truth and the Life.

Ronu people are terrible people like their slave master TPAIN... by now the eyes of the foolish rivers law makers I mean law breakers go don clear ...the mumus that was following a former governor to destabilise their own state...the foolish speaker that thought he will become acting governor after impeaching Fubara is who I pity most. he has lost his seat evenif temporarily but wike is still a minster,..Tpain is clearly destroying our institutions of government....he now have both NASS and judiciary in his pockets..this is why he will do such thing without recourse to NASS....

Funny people
Challenge at which court
Wike and Tinubu court ? dey play
They should lobby NASS ,so Tinubu will not have 2/3 to ratify it, it is way easier at NASS than through a compromised judiciary

Gh

Tinubu should be impeached a president does not have the power to desolve any arm of state government he must pay for the abuse of his office he must pay!

Waste of time and money. On what locus standi basis will they file the case? Are they privy/a LEGALLY interested entity to the situation in Rivers state?

If they have any clout as a party united for its common goals, and not a clueless divided bunch of selfish parochial minds, why can't they deal with him effectively in the NASS

Okay

I dont think SIM or the people of Rivers need you now. I wonder if it is thesame court of injustice that has been giving conflicting & rascally judgement you are running to.

You were all aloof when all this ish started playing out. You all did nothing. You read, saw & heard the flawed judgement of the Supreme court of injustice. . You saw SIM being locked out, still stood akimbo.

You are all useless as a politician, you pdp politicians. I also wonder if it was how apc played their opposition against Jonathan.

The prices of food stuffs has Hit above the roof fuel prices that Was used to destabilize the government of Jonathan is almost a thousand per liter. You are now going to court.

Useless Set of politicians

Heading to the oga patapata of corruption

May God not let us waste our resources on what would yield a loss!

Toothless Calabar local dogs 🐕

Seems Nigerian politicians like unnecessary drama. Same court were you know you'll lose. Well they're opposition for a reason so they just doing their bit.

GOFRONT:
Now we can rest ontop Natasha and Akpabio matter

Wike to Akpabio's rescue?
Maybe that is why he went to thank him for the rescue job

Nemere2020:
Akpabio visits FCT Minister, Wike at his Abuja residence

“A government cannot be said to exist without one of the three arms that make up the Government of a State under the 1999 Constitution. In this case, the Head of the Executive arm of the Government has chosen to collapse the Legislature to enable him govern without the Legislature as a despot. As it is, there is no government in Rivers State.”

According to Supreme Court , there was no Government in Rivers state.

To avert Anarchy, The President did the right thing.


Tinubu is not one of your past leaders without Balls.

What he did was not even in Wike's favour but confusionist dont think because they need to ride on popular opinion.

If he refuse to step in, the 27 lawmakers will impeach Fubara and install a Wike's stooge and heaven will not fall. The numbers are too crazy.


Once in a while, make una dey sit down and think


Not everything is ing the wagon !
