Idris explained that the decision to impose emergency rule was necessary due to the collapse of governance in the state.

The Federal Government has given an update on the state of emergency declared in Rivers State.

FG assured that the emergency rule will be lifted as soon as normalcy is restored.

Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, made this known in an interview with The Nation newspaper, stating that President Bola Tinubu is committed to reinstating democratic structures in the state.

“As soon as he assesses that sanity has returned to Rivers State, he will ensure the restoration of all democratic structures in that state,” Idris said.

He emphasized that the president has no ulterior motives regarding the state’s governance, dismissing speculations of a political takeover.

“The president has no intention whatsoever to take over the governance of Rivers State. He has no intention to be or to appoint a governor for Rivers State,” he stated.

Idris explained that the decision to impose emergency rule was necessary due to the collapse of governance in the state, which required urgent intervention.

“The way democracy is designed in this country is that the three arms of government must work together, and one will be checking the other,” he said.

“So, we cannot have just the executive functioning and say we have a functional democracy. We didn’t have that, and therefore, the president had to act.”

The minister reiterated that President Tinubu will not keep emergency rule in place longer than necessary, stressing that the move was taken in line with constitutional provisions to restore order.

No reverse back about the SOE in Rivers state

Let all the parties involved settle things amicably first as we wouldn't want any drama after the 6 months SOE is over

That is the right thing to do.

Tinubu is a man of the people.

It doesn't matter, if those fools threaten to impeach the governor, more pipelines will be destroyed.
Also the RSHC will look into their defection case 4months to 2027 election and sack all of them.
Before they will file a case in court challenging the court decision, election don reach and another Assembly will be voted in.

Your about this is just wrong . I can say you are part of those who misled Fubara by telling him to carry on with his unconstitutional moves

I the SIM.
While I Tinubu, I really hate Wike as an office holder.
I don't have issues if APC wins Rivers state but Wike should stop fanning the flames of war in the state.

That means the presidency listens to the yearnings of the people

Emergency rule is a temporary measure.

Bro, you know you in particular made me to deliberately stayed out of the discussion until things get messier

I wasn't any of the party, but I attacked Fubara more than others as he's the one who has lots to loose. This suspension or the drama could have been averted

Are you sure

It couldn't have been averted.
Wike wants to control the state, the people of the state doesn't want that and SIM is just doing the bidding of Rivers people who is rejecting Wike.

As long as Wike is trying to force himself on the people of Rivers state using the court and assembly memebers, the problem will linger on and if they impeach Fubara, the Nigerian oil production will come to a low 400k barrels per day, all of us go follow bomb pipeline so everybody go rest.
Good thing Delta and Bayelsa has ed the fight.
Wike will never happen to Rivers state again.

Tinubu is a true democrat.

The people of Rivers will be glad to hear this.

YES, WE ALREADY KNOW FUBARA WOULD BE RETURNED.



BY THE TIME HE RETURN THE RECENTLY RELEASED STATE ALLOCATION TO THE CALABAR MAN TINUPOO SENT FROM ABUJA WOULD BE ALL GONE.




FUBARA WILL BE A GOVERNOR WITHOUT FUNDS TO FULFIL HIS MANDATE.



WHAT IS GOING ON IN RIVERS STATE IS SHAMELESS BROAD DAY LIGHT ROBBERY BY HARDENED CRIMINAL.


IF AND WEN THEY RETURN FUBARA, THE STATE ALLOCATION WOULD ALL BE GONE, NOTHING FOR HIM TO USE AGAIN.


THEY SAY EMPTY VESSELS MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE, WIKE IS REALLY EMPTY.


ALL THOSE NOISE HE IS MAKING, IT IS BECAUSE NIGERIANS DONT KNOW THEIR RIGHTS OTHERWISE, THEY WOULD HAVE DEALT WITH HIM AND TAUGHT HIM TO BE HUMBLE.

Baba don't say what you don't know ...Baba Tinubu caused everything...after his first intervention meeting , Fubara sticked to his instructions but Wike refused to obey his instructions and planning to impeach the Gov. main reason why he went to demolished the RSHA , tho it's bad ...
If Baba Tinubu had caution Wike , walahi Dem no born Fubara well make he no comply

Wike was the problem , he was not ready for any peace talk that will not get Fubara out of office . He would have played his politics well by assuring the Ijaw nation of a replacement from the Ijaw tribe because this is the first time they are ruling rivers , they stood for Wike against Amaechi and federal might , they lost a son who was shot at the stomach at the collation center when Amaechi federal soldiers came to snatched collated forms.
But Wike choose to fight the whole Ijaw nation and was even degrading them in national TV ...

If One man(Wike) cook for the whole village(Ijaw) , the village will never be full, but if the village cook for one man , he cannot eat it or finish it


It's so glaring that Baba Tinubu allow himself to be bambuzoo by Wike

You see the issue, you all focus on Wike as if the state assembly don't think by themselves. Fubara was busy fighting everyone including the disbanded LG chairmen while his ers are blaming Wike.

The Wike that Fubara ers want to be blaming is not even distracted with the happenings in Rivers state

It is impossible to steal allocation when you haven't carried out any project or make any payment, the state ant will give of how the money was utilized after SIM returns and if substantial amount was removed without any any project done, then the gov'nor will raise alarm.
The sole can't steal in this case

Na Tinubu demolished the state assembly complex?

Na Tinubu dey fight the state assembly , The LG chairmen?

Had Fubara resolved the issue amicably, would the presidency have interfered?

WHY DEM NO AGREE RELEASE AM TO FUBARA SINCE, INSTEAD THEY WERE TALKING OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.


AS SOON AS THE CALABAR MAN ARRIVE FROM ABUJA, THEY RELEASE IT.


IS THAT HOW TO RUN GOVERNMENT?

why will he be distracted when he is the one causing the distraction?
How many people in Rivers state do you see ing Wike?
It's either those that are looking for crumbs from Wike or those Yorubas that s Tinubu.

I just hope Wike gets politically strong enough to become president one day, then u will understand why Rivers state hates him so much

What constitutional provisions and how were they implemented especially at parliamentary level

Are you saying the state assembly who are not in the camp of Fubara can't think for themselves? They receive all the instructions from Wike before acting?

Fubara can't be fighting everyone and still be claiming victim

the supremem court says the allocation must not be released until the gov'nor presents it to the HOA, but a situation where both the HOA and the gov'nor were suspended, the FG will release it to the sole as his decision won't have to through HOA, cos he is a solo player here.
