Former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has condemned President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, calling it a blatant disregard for constituted authority.


Reacting to the development, George said, “This is absolute Armageddon—total disrespect for constituted authority. The Constitution has been viciously violated.”




He continued, “We can’t keep quiet. This is recklessness of the highest order. What did Fubara do? As Commander-in-Chief, Tinubu gave Wike soldiers and security agents to destabilize Rivers State. The governor has no control over security agencies, yet he remained calm. Nobody has explained what he did to warrant this dictatorial emergency rule.”

George likened the situation to past political crises, stating, “This is exactly how it started in 1962 and 1983. It’s a dress rehearsal for what Tinubu wants to do in 2027. The APC wants to take control of all states through unconstitutional means.”

He questioned the legality of Tinubu’s actions, asking, “Did he get National Assembly approval before his broadcast? What happened in Rivers is the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob. Why didn’t he declare a state of emergency in Lagos when lawmakers were fighting? Why invite Diete-Spiff and Niger Delta leaders last week if he already planned this?”

George concluded, “Is Tinubu now becoming a civilian dictator?”

Those he bribed with dollars before election are mute. Despite the hardship, have you seen any one of them say pim?

They will sit this out too.

You want to get Nigerians, givethem things free. It's in the blood.
Even when they don't need it,but cos it's free, they will take it.


Let's here from those that condemn Trump day and night.

That's the plan, if you don't get it, forget it.

There is no difference between Abacha and tinubu, the so called disciple of Abiola nadeco movement.

They were no fighting Abacha to restore democracy. They were just after power. Simple as that.
