President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in Rivers and suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for six months following the political crisis that had rocked the state.

Two days after the move, Tinubu wrote to the National Assembly, seeking their approval for the emergency rule declaration.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbass read the president’s letter during a plenary session on Thursday, after which the lawmakers approved the President’s declaration through a voice vote.
