Tension has heightened in Rivers State, as the dreaded militant group, Niger Delta Rescue Movement, NDRM, warned the Federal Government not to withhold the allocation meant for the state or face a total cut in the oil productio, ThisDay Nigeria reports.

It also issued a directive to all non-indigenes to consider their safety and leave Rivers State as hostilities were about to escalate.

The group also declared that, except the Federal Government and all the players involved in the crisis do the needful by sheathing their swords, it would hit the nation’s oil production if the allocation due to the state was not released timely.

Recall that the Supreme Court on Friday upheld the decision of the lower court by stopping the state allocation until a valid House of Assembly which has Martin Amaewhule as Speaker, is constituted.

In a follow up to the judgment, Amaewhule on Monday issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Governor Siminalayi Fubara to present the 2025 budget before the House. The ultimatum had since expired on the midnight of Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, the Amaewhule-led House directed the state governor to sack all commissioners and political appointees and re-submit for screening, a list of new commissioner nominees.

A trending video on a social media platform featured the militants numbering about eight armed with AK-47 and other assorted riffles in an unknown forest, yesterday, chanting “asawana, asawana,” a common slogan among the Ijaw people of the Niger delta region.

A supposed leader of the group declared in a letter he read, “We the Niger Delta Rescue Movement wish to express our deep concern regarding the recent development in Rivers State threatening the smooth governance of our beloved state under the leadership of Governor Fubara.

“It has come to our attention that certain individuals proclaim as lawmakers have issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the state governor to present the 2025 state budget. This blatant attempt to destabilize the state is not only alarming but also a clear attempt and coordinated effort to incite hell, potentially to lead to a state of emergency or even an impeachment.

“We call on President Bola Tinubu to intervene immediately and put a stop to the action of the minister, Nyesom Wike and his associate, whose intent is to drag Rivers State to avoidable crisis. The people of Rivers state like stability, progress and a conducive environment for governance.


The three minutes, 28 seconds video also showed the militants saying, “We can’t generate money into the Federation Account and not have our own share. Our workers deserve their salaries, our government needs the necessary resources to carry out essential development projects.”

They went on to urge the non-indigenes to leave the state for their safety, saying “We urge all non-indigenes in Rivers State to consider their safety and leave the state promptly as the situation may escalate. We cherish the safety of all residents and urge for a peaceful resolution to this crisis. Enough is enough. We stand united for the rest and future of Rivers State. We demand respect from our leaders and focus on the development of our region,” they warned.

Acts against Fubara contain elements of treason – CISLAC

Meanwhile, Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, CISLAC, has described as treasonable felony, the actions perpetrated against Governor Fubara since he assumed office.

Legal Manager of the Transition Monitoring Group, TMG, CISLAC, Mr Gimba Hassan, in a statement in Abuja, said: “It is my belief that some of the actions against Fubara contain elements of treason under Section 37 of the Criminal Code Act and treasonable felony under Section 40 of the same Act.

“When you examine the use of violence against the governor, the burning of the state House of Assembly, the withdrawal of his security, and the deployment of thugs to take over local government councils during elections, it becomes clear that these acts were intended to intimidate and overpower the governor, which falls within the legal definitions of treason and treasonable felony.

“This is especially worrisome in a country where even peaceful protests by minors are sometimes treated as treason,” Hassan said.

He added that the Rivers State House of Assembly’s 48-hour ultimatum for the governor to present the budget was unlawful and lacked legal backing.

Citing El-Rufai vs. House of Representatives (2003) and the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act, he explained that a minimum of seven days’ notice was required for a valid legislative summons.

He emphasised that the 48-hour ultimatum was a clear violation of established legal and parliamentary procedures.

“With its judgment, the Supreme Court has effectively stalled governance in Rivers, and the state Assembly is worsening the crisis by proceeding on a 12-week recess.

“This is despite the fact that the House had virtually no legislative activity for months while the matter was in court.

“Our constitution begins with the phrase “We the People…It is the people who gave power to our institutions, elected the governor and his deputy, and voted for the members of the state Assembly.

Further, he said: “It is time for all parties to come together, resolve their disputes, and move the state forward.”

Rivers has been very peaceful until some bunch of slaves and their slave masters in abuja out of their greed decided to disturb that peace

Thunder fire them all
Only those who have never been to the creeks will think that military can stop these boys when they start

Delta state and river state in the south south has produced the most stupid ex governors in the history of Nigeria politics who use their state resources to fund federal elections that they are not contesting as president

1) Okowa borrowed 300 billion to fund atiku
2) Peter odili fund obj 2nd term hoping for a return favour
3) Ibori funded yaradua with delta money hoping he will be VP later on thru northern support
4) Amaechi now bittered used rivers state money to fund buhari 1st tenure hoping buhari will help him become president even fight his own brother
5) wike now bittered donated N500 million of rivers money to Sokoto state hoping tambuwa will help him win party primary.

Next elections their successors in delta and rivers will still make the same mistakes. They are fools

Bring it on oooo. It’s a good opportunity for Nigerian Army to reduce your population significantly

Make you na calm down e never reach, we know what we did to bring peace to the Niger Delta ..

Lol dem sabi give themselves name tagging niger delta

Militants that will be bought over.

Fubara should not allow himself be deceived further.

He should know the odd is staked against him at the moment. He has to navigate carefully.

I pity who advised Fubara to think about fighting Wike …..

In any way whatsoever Fubara would still loose FG will just declare Rivers state… state of emergency…

Ask your self who is FG again and ur guess would be as good as mine

You are free to burn your state, non of my business

NDRM abi wetin be una name again?
Make I just dey laugh Sha.

Make una start to dey disturb the peace for Una area.
Shebi una see those Monday-Holiday people so.

Make una think say BAT go reason una threat.

E go soon clear

Only small children will take these threats lightly. Former President Obasanjo knows better. Tompolo won't do pim. Asari is already on their side as Ijaw will never war Ijaw. Military gragra no dey this matter, people will die and Nigeria will lose economically. State of emergency won't deter those men instead it will only embolden their resolve for destruction.

Who wants to remove food from Tompolo's mouth.

Make una make sure say una catch wike alive

I guess Nigeria love being at war than peace since this APC party came onboard. So much violence

Make una dey play!

Jagaban Army from oshodi will crush them under 30 mins

Make MC oloumo mount fess

Let's wait, there will be counter threats soon!

Lolz the gov should be arrested if anything happened to oil facilities

Nonsense. I hope they follow through. No be just to make videos and then chicken out over a few dollars.

This wan think Jona is still in power.

We are back to 2006-07 when Obasanjo was President and MEND was 'fighting' for injustice. Rinse and repeat.

These guys don't want the wrath of fed might unleashed in that region! I thought fubara is smart to avoid using this unscrupulous elements over a matter the law has settled amicably, let's see how this unfolds.
Two things would happen, an impeachment or a total military take over by declaring a state of emergency on rivers people! When there is a military takeover the law is suspended and decrees set in, even the militant wouldn't have any safe havens when this happens.. Sim should no allow those who sank him sink him deeper!
