President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's declarations of a state of emergency in Rivers State is both necessary and opportune. The political turmoil in the state has reached a critical point, with both sides purportedly receiving support from militant organisations. While Asari Dokubo appears to be the sole significant Ijaw militant leader who supports Governor Siminalayi Fubara, former Governor Nyesom Wike has the backing of other influential figures. Fubara clearly does not have a monopoly on the use of force.


Prior to taking this strong action, President Tinubu attempted to resolve the disagreement multiple times. He originally invited both sides to settle their disagreements amicably, but they refused, leaving the case to the courts. In another attempt to restore peace, the president called a meeting with important state leaders to establish a long-term solution, but no tangible progress was made.

Tensions rose when some militants, acting on previous threats, began targeting oil pipelines over the weekend—acts that tragically continued today. Faced with the looming possibility of widespread violence and economic sabotage, the president's decision to declare a state of emergency is a proactive effort to prevent a total breakdown in law enforcement.

Importantly, this intervention assures that Rivers State workers do not face the implications of frozen state accounts, which could interrupt critical services. With only Asari Dokubo's organisation openly backing Fubara, limiting additional disturbance is possible, unlike in prior periods when many militant factions banded together against the government.

Anyone who opposes the president's decision is either playing dirty politics or does not care about the well-being of the people of Rivers State. Such people appear to be pleased to watch innocent citizens suffer as a result of a catastrophe they did not cause. This state of emergency is more than just a precaution; it is an important step towards protecting the people of Rivers State, maintaining peace, and protecting the nation's critical resources from further harm.

Shut up your dirty mouth.
How many formal governor's are supporting Wike? How many ex senators are supporting Wike? How many ex political office holders are supporting Wike? Fubara has their support, because they are aware of what is happening in Rivers State and not social media idiots like you.
