The declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State reeks of political manipulation and outright bad faith.

Anyone paying attention to the unfolding crisis knows that Bola Tinubu has been a vested partisan actor in the political turmoil engulfing Rivers. His blatant refusal or calculated negligence in preventing this escalation is nothing short of disgraceful.

Beyond the political scheming in Rivers, the brazen security breaches that led to the condemnable destruction of national infrastructure in the state land squarely on the President’s desk.

Tinubu cannot evade responsibility for the chaos his administration has either enabled or failed to prevent.

It is an unforgivable failure that under Tinubu’s watch, the Niger Delta has been thrown back into an era of violent unrest and instability — undoing the hard-won peace secured by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua. Years of progress have been recklessly erased in pursuit of selfish political calculations.

If federal infrastructure in Rivers has been compromised, the President bears full responsibility. Punishing the people of Rivers State just to serve the political gamesmanship between the governor and @officialABAT’s enablers in the federal government is nothing less than an assault on democracy and must be condemned in the strongest terms. -AA

Ebola has now become Public Enemy Number 1.

Everyone now knows who was behind the Rivers crisis the whole time. This will unite the country more because everyone now knows what a monster we’re fighting against.

So fast?

Tinubu is a terrible leader , a mistake and a monumental disgrace to leadership .

He has exposed his desperation for 2027 by suspending a democratically elected governor of rivers state. Tinubu is a mistake

It's now officially that Tinubu is a very terrible as a president

Who ever told the president that this drunk minister who he's aiding to cause anarchy in the Niger delta won't turn around and stab him recklessly like he did to all his political fathers when he has the opportunity?? He should pause and think that this minister wanted his position as President ' but was stopped by Atiku.. A man declares war in his state cuz he wants to retain structures for his (personal) Presidential ambition...and the iragbiji man isn't bothered? 😂 I laugh in Agbado style

Fact!!
How can the problem be sitting in your executive council and you're sacking the governor?

I just lost all respect for Tinubu. He's not a democrat. He's simply an hypocrite who is only after power and the gains of power

Never in the history of this country of my birth has a minister in the federal cabinet been seen formenting trouble in words and in deeds in his home state and the president is enabling and openly supporting him.

In my view what Tinubu has done with rivers is a betrayal of trust of the office of the president

OTP

Tinubu has lost the South South by that declaration, he was so fast to.

He has Lost El-Rufai, and also loosing the North.

Reasonable patriotic people from SW have also rejected him.

Tinupoo is ignorant I swear

Tinubu and wike are toying with Nigerians. Time will tell

Condemn Tinubu but you won't condemn oil that is extracted from someones backyard. Backyard that you don't have a stake that has made you rich.

Maybe God is using Tinubu to midwife Nigeria to an agreed union

Is impeachment not a political process?

Thief tinubu

All to get at fubara nothing more. So bad.

Wike is loyal except you look for his trouble.

Very condemnable

Atiku talking about democracy is the funniest joke of the year.

This is a guy that tried to overthrow an election in court for 6 months.

Did Odili .. patience and Goodluck Jonathan look for his trouble??
Make Una kontunu.. na here we go dey read scripts as e de unfold in de near future

The same ",Problem" you are talking about played a major role in "blessing" Nigeria with th current problematic Government, which has midwives too many problems for Nigerians.

"Unite the country" to install Atiku or ur Iying machine?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol

Just because of one man's interest you declare state of emergency
This administration is just taking the country 10 steps backward.

Ok

Tinubu is not a democrat. He is a tyrant and bad leader who doesn't mean well for the masses.

NASS WONT APPROVE IT, JUST AS THEY DID NOT APPROVE THE DRUGGIE WAR ON NIGER REPUBLIC.


IT IS A MOST FOOLISH VENTURE BY A DRUG BARRON.


NIGERIA SHOULD NOT STAND FOR TINUBU OPENLY ARRANGING THINGS SO HE CAN RIG HIMSELF INTO POWER 2027.

Tinubu is a terrible president including all his bandits here on nairaland

PDP has been complicit in this matter and Atiku cannot deny that of his party. They failed to punish Wike a long time ago. You now have no choice but to follow Tinubu's script.

papyjaypaul:
When we thought we had seen the worst of this, the President took us back to 2006-07 era of Obasanjo. What a shame! The State will never recognize him as a leader of Rivers State in their portrait. Governor Sim Fubara was smart to publicly say he is not afraid to be impeached and going to present the budget to the House.

Even Buhari the dictator and christened 'reformed democrat' did not do this when he came back. It is now clear that those things APC condemned back then was because they did not have the opportunity to do the same thing. You disagreed with Obasanjo back then, now you are going to the same playbook.

As Ms Kogbara said, most Rivers people believe Tinubu never won the Rivers election and we can now see it.

The President failed to reprimand his Minister who caused tension with his last media chat.
Wike will soon meet his waterloo because at this moment, what's left? What next can you do? APC will use and dump you.
