PDP Governors Demand Reversal Of Fubara’s Suspension, Ask Tinubu To Caution Wike by FuglyGurl(op): 10:06am On Mar 19, 2025

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have asked President Bola Tinubu to reverse the suspension of Rivers governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The PDP Governors’ Forum described Fubara’s suspension as a “grievous mistake” and an “atrocious and retrograde decision”.

On Tuesday night, Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers following the prolonged political crisis in the south-south state.

The president also suspended Fubara, his deputy and the members of the state assembly.

Tinubu nominated Ibok-Ete Ibas, a retired vice-admiral, as the administrator of Rivers state.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi and chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, said the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers is an “utter misgiving”.

Mohammed said Tinubu’s “silence on the active role played” by Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), in the political crisis in Rivers was “golden and enabling”.

“He (Wike) has become a law unto himself because he was playing out your script. Now we know. This is totally unstatemanly, biased, and divisive,” the statement reads.

“We state categorically that this unwarranted but premeditated attack on Rivers State and the Peoples Democratic Party and other opposition parties is today, the greatest threat to democracy in our dear country, Nigeria and it is an ill wind that will blow no one any good.

“It is a dangerous course of action that will not only endanger our hard-won democracy but will exacerbate the crises in the nation, deepen mistrust, elevate security threats, destroy the economy, and our national cohesion and stability.

“The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in its response signed by its President, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, has already expressed grave concern about the purported suspension by the President of the Governor of Rivers State, the Deputy Governor, and the Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

“The NBA affirmed their commitment to upholding the Constitution, defending democratic governance, and ensuring that the rule of law prevails in Nigeria.

“President is therefore called upon to listen to wise counsel and the voice of reason, as well as accept that he made grievous mistakes and acted in haste, and reverse this atrocious and retrograde decision before it is too late.

“This authoritarian shenanigan is unacceptable and cannot stand.”

Mohammed said the forum aligns with the NBA and would approach the court to interpret section 305 (3) of the constitution.

I still don’t get how cautioning Wike will remedy the situation in Rivers state. This is a straight fight between the governor and members of the state house of assembly.

Is it Wike that demolished the house of Assembly? Is it Wike that refused to present the 2024 and 2025 budget to the Rivers State house of Assembly? Is Wike the one that appointed commissioners without getting them screened by the Rivers house of Assembly as required by law? Is it Wike that withheld the funds of Rivers State house of assembly since 2023? Is it Wike that is bombing oil pipelines in Rivers state?

So, how will cautioning Wike remedy all these constitutional violations? How will cautioning Wike bring back the demolished house of assembly? How will cautioning Wike ensure that the legislative arm of government in the state is allowed to function as intended by the constitution? How will cautioning Wike stop Fubara’s boys from blowing up oil pipelines?

Now it’s time to go to court over it.

Let’s hear from the court, the legality or illegality of suspending a governor by the President. It must be laid to rest once and for all.

Tinubu is ignorant of the constitution it's obvious..
A terrible president and a disgrace to leadership .

What Tinubu has done is an impeachable offense in a sane clime but this is Nigeria where idiots and criminals occupy public offices

Oga it is not and has never been a straight fight between the governor and members of the state house of assembly. Do you need to be reminded of the events in the state, before and after the inauguration of Fubara as the governor? Do you pretend not to have heard all Wike’s statements since September 2023 when their quarrel came to the public?

Wike and Fubara are the gladiators. Martin Amaewhule and his co-travellers are the “boy boy” used by Wike to fight Fubara. Wike needs to allow Rivers state and its people have some peace.

A state of emergency is a situation in which a government is empowered to put through policies that it would normally not be permitted to do, for the safety and protection of its citizens.

PDP governors need to understand that State of emergency technically means suspension of the constitution to restore law and order.

President Olusegun Obasanjo (PDP) declared state of emergency in Ekiti and installed a military administrator...PDP happy

President Goodluck Jonathan (PDP) declared a state of emergency in 3 states...PDP happy

President Bola Tinubu (APC) declared state of emergency in Rivers state and installed a sole administrator.....PDP crying

In Ukraine, President Zelensky declared state of emergency and suspends the conduct of elections, which keeps him in office beyond his tenure (which ended in 2024),,,,THE WORLD IS HAPPY

I’m still waiting for a senior lawyer to validate Tinubu’s actions as lawful so far, not even his Attorney General, Lateef, can justify the President’s decisions yesterday. This is just the beginning of the consequences of aligning with Wike.
