Fubara agreed to do is part. He withdrew all his court cases. But Wike refuse to do his part.

What's Wike's business with rivers state?
The only viable resolution could have been to tell wike to hands off rivers state and wait for 2027.

Those 27 slaves had no problem with fubara until their slave master (the Abuja idiot) instructed them to impeach him

Shebi tinubu rather sacrifice peace so that wike can keep meddling where he is not supposed to, he rather spread the soldiers across all oil installations. At least 10 soldiers per installation, the 10 soldiers for ever 1km of pipeline.

Idiots that hate peace

You are not making any sense. Can you tell Kwankwaso what’s his business with Kano? Or telling Obi what’s his business with Anambra. Wike was Fubara’s stepping stone to being the governor of rivers state. You cannot disrespect me simply because you are now the governor.

The solution should be to warn Wike to stay away from Rivers governance.

But we have a mannequin as president.

Wike is controlling Tinubu.

How will Wike staying away from Rivers State politics remedy all the constitutional violations committed by Fubara?

After this intervention, Fabura was misled, that he was democratically elected just like the president and that Tinubu had no power to direct him to agree to any resolution. Now, the democratically elected Tinubu has suspended the democratically elected Fubara. Their power are far apart.
I pray they reconcile before September.

Yes they did. Kwankwaso runs Kano state government by proxy.

If you choose to be loyal to a godfather to the extend of needing his help for election, then the problem is all yours to deal with and remain loyal instead of being a USER.

He wasn’t a godfather when you needed his help, he’s now a godfather after using his help to achieve your goals. Fubara was handled exactly the way betrayers are being handled. This should be a lesson to other users like Fubara and yourself.

While they claim that they did not which makes the resolution null and void

LEGAL OPINION ON THE PROPRIETY OF THE DECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN RIVERS STATE PURSUANT TO SECTION 305 OF THE CONSTITUTION

---

1. INTRODUCTION

This legal opinion is issued in light of the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The opinion seeks to determine whether the declaration meets the legal threshold as provided under Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

---

2. STATEMENT OF FACTS

The following material facts are considered relevant:

- An ongoing political conflict between the Governor of Rivers State and members of the State House of Assembly.
- The demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex under the directive of the State Government, allegedly on the grounds of structural damage.
- Reports of pipeline bombings and destruction of critical oil infrastructure in parts of Rivers State.
- Claims of threats to public safety and breakdown of law and order arising from the above developments.

---

3. APPLICABLE LAW – SECTION 305 OF THE 1999 CONSTITUTION

Section 305 provides the legal basis for the declaration of a state of emergency. Specifically:

> Section 305(3)(c): “There is actual breakdown of public order and public safety in the Federation or any part thereof to such extent as to require extraordinary measures to restore peace and security.”

> Section 305(4): “The President shall immediately after the publication of the Official Gazette of the Government of the Federation transmitting the details of the Proclamation to each House of the National Assembly for approval.”

---

4. LEGAL ANALYSIS

(a) Threshold of “Actual Breakdown”
The Constitution requires actual, not speculative, breakdown of public order and safety. In this case:

- The demolition of the Assembly complex, though politically controversial, can be argued to be a governance issue — however, it becomes constitutionally significant if it leads to an institutional vacuum or violent confrontation.
- Bombing and destruction of oil pipelines, if confirmed to be widespread and disruptive to civil order and security, could qualify as a serious threat to public safety, and meet the constitutional threshold.

(b) Necessity of “Extraordinary Measures”
If conventional law enforcement mechanisms are overwhelmed, and the situation endangers national security, energy infrastructure, or civil peace, then extraordinary measures (like a state of emergency) may be justified under Section 305(3)(c).

(c) Doctrine of Federalism and Subsidiarity
Any state of emergency must respect the autonomy of states within the Nigerian federation. A premature or politically motivated emergency declaration could undermine constitutional democracy, except where public safety cannot be otherwise guaranteed.

---

5. CONCLUSION

- Based on the totality of facts, especially if verifiable evidence confirms that civil order has collapsed or is collapsing due to bombings, public unrest, or institutional paralysis, the declaration of a state of emergency may be legally sustainable under Section 305(3)(c).
- However, if such breakdowns are localized, containable by civil authorities, or politically orchestrated, then the declaration risks constitutional overreach.

---

6. RECOMMENDATION

It is advised that:
- The National Assembly should thoroughly vet the factual basis before approving the emergency proclamation.
- The Federal Government must transparently communicate the scale and nature of threats to justify its action.
- Civil society and courts should remain vigilant to prevent misuse of constitutional emergency powers for partisan or authoritarian ends.

This does still not constitutionally justify the declaration of SOE.

Besides, why is Wike's signature there? Does he hold any position in Rivers State? Why will he not let the State be?

This one and SOE, which one is better? Sometimes, you study the potential war outcome, then, review your strategies. Politics is not always win-win situations. Funbara had the chance to get everything but blow it out
