That was before the supreme Court ruling

Jonathan declared state of emergency in brono yobe and another state the governors remained

The president have no constitutional right to remove the governor the military administrator should rule besides the governor

You can't compare the Rivers case with what happened in Borno, Adamawa and Yola. Different scenario

So the boko Haram issue was less of an issue than what's happening in Rivers state? Lmao
Re: Throwback: Obasanjo Sacks Fayose, Appoints Olurin As Ekiti Sole Administrator by seunmsg(m): 7:59pm On Mar 18, 2025
The constitution did not provide for the appointment of an administrator in case of an emergency rule.

They are different issue. they can't be compared

Tinubu has messed himself up with this issue and it will spiral into his re-election loss
He refused to call wike to order maybe hoping fabura will bow down and let them control him

The situation now is complex, the militants will return, the economic hardship will more than double cos of the hit on the oil production and he can't defend himself to Nigerians going into 2027

He missed it!

So there are different types of state of emergency declaration?

The scenerio that played out in Borno Adamawa and Yobe can't be compared with what's happening in Rivers state. I expect the people of Rivers to even be thanking the president.

A lot of you guys just want this country to burn. The Ijaws can see the president is neutral, am sure they will stop the unnecessary attack on the pipelines.

Tinubu knows he cannot win elections in Rivers State if it's free and fair. His hands are tied because Fubara will never let Wike do for him in 2027 what he did in 2023.

The president is not neutral. He clearly took sides with Wike and it will hurt him soon..

Tinubu clearly lacks the wisdom of Solomon.

Wike wanted the child (Rivers state) divided (Burnt), if he won't have it. Fubara was ready to compromise like the woman that loved her child.

King I-no-be-Solomon Tinubu, decided to divide and burn the child, in favour of the jealous woman (Wike) who wanted to steal the child.

My people, you can now draw your conclusion on whether your president is wise or not..

No time.

Hopefully, Ipobidients can come out of Onitsha and Umuahia to come to Port Harcourt and fight for Fubara.

I warned Fubara against allowing those cursed people support him.

THAT IS YORUBA BUSINESS.

We are talking about how to save the state today and you are talking about re-election.
Re: Throwback: Obasanjo Sacks Fayose, Appoints Olurin As Ekiti Sole Administrator by stanluiz(m): 8:50pm On Mar 18, 2025
Ekiti and rivers no be the same. Obasanjo was from the South West and ekiti was a pdp state.

Tinubu is not from SS neither is Rivers state an Apc state. He refused to call wike to order.

The aftermath and impact of the SOE in rivers may be bad and disastrous. It may leads to a bitter ethnic killings between ikwere and ijaw.

The peace of Rivers state is hanging on the balance.

Why didn't Obasanjo replace Fayose with a Bini or Ijaw man? Because he understood how sensitive the situation is and had to use a fellow yoruba man.

Tinubu removed an Ijaw man but refused to replace Fubara with another Ijaw man, what did Ijaws do to Tinubu? I keep asking because this man kept attacking Jonathan until he teamed up with others to send him packing.
