State Of Emergency In Rivers: Disrespect For Constituted Authority – Bode George by Bobloco(op): 9:37pm On Mar 18, 2025
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?”

It is shameful and an aberration to be honest from a man who claims to be a democrat
Sacking the gov, dep gov and House in one speech like a military coup while the main problem will attend FEC to give submission on matters of state
I never imagined that Tinubu can be this despotic

😂..... every sane person can see that the gods want to kill Tinubu but first they've taken his sanity!!!

After fumbling governance with your stupid policies and losing Northern Support, you suddenly remember your fellow southerners but because you know you have no credibility there, you want to forcefully take their votes.. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Oga Tinubu, kiss your 2nd Term goodbye... you are not only a terrible president but an utterly shambolic one. undecided

Tinubu was extremely way too fast to declare state of emergency in Rivers state.

He just wanted to hold unto the leadership of Rivers State.

With a military Governor, rigging will be extremely easy for him, na shoot on sight the soldiers go dey do during election.

Let's see how the people of Niger Delta and Ijaw nation responds to it.

Where was bode George, when the crisis in river state was taking a different dimension, instead they all took side even the elders in river state took side. Now that state of emergency is declared, everyone is talking as if they did their homework. If pdp did what was expected of them, this will not happen.

Now we know that Ebola Escobar and Wike are behind all these. Nigerians don learn , it took too many pleadings from Yar Adua to stop the creek boys, even Buhari handle MEND carefully, By the time the creek boys starts blowing up the pipe lines, una terrible President will soon know the difference between Balablu and Bulaba.

Where was pa Bode George when Fubara was proving to be obstinate undecided . OBJ did worse (Odili massacre, Ekiti and plateau state of Emergency and heaven didn't fall). I am not a PBAT fan but he has done what a responsible government will do else civil war might breakout in the Niger-Delta (Ijaws vs the rest). The only fault from PBAT end is that he should have suspended Wike immediately for constituting nuisance in Rivers as a Minister . But he won't because of his political ambition

It is what it is. This is just too much, president Tinubu using the avenue to scare his potential rivals for 2027. El Rufai will be very careful now, Peter Obi might not be willing to contest in 2027. Fubara fought hard but those supporting him were not doing it genuinely, more so he couldn't have won against the federal government to be honest. He played into their hands by targeting oil pipeline. I wish Fubara well

What a calamity!

Tinubu sacks elected executives and legislators in absolute breach of the constitution.

Section 305 of the constitution did not empower the president to do what he has done.

Even declaration of state of emergency is null and void without National Assembly approval.
