Breaking…Tinubu declares state of emergency in Rivers

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared a State of Emergency in Rivers State amid the escalating political crisis.

The declaration was made during a nationwide broadcast on Tuesday night, as tensions between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the State House of Assembly reached a boiling point.

This move gives the federal government direct control over the state’s affairs, potentially leading to the suspension of elected officials and the deployment of additional security forces to restore order.

Further details on the implications and implementation of the emergency rule are expected in the coming hours.
