Why didn't Obasanjo replace Fayose with a Bini or Ijaw man? Because he understood how sensitive the situation is and had to use a fellow yoruba man.

Tinubu removed an Ijaw man but refused to replace Fubara with another Ijaw man, what did Ijaws do to Tinubu? I keep asking because this man kept attacking Jonathan until he teamed up with others to send him packing.
Nothing just that Ijaw men are too weak in making a decision and tackling issues.

That was before the supreme Court ruling

Jonathan declared state of emergency in brono yobe and another state the governors remained

The president have no constitutional right to remove the governor the military administrator should rule besides the governor

A lot of you guys just want this country to burn. The Ijaws can see the president is neutral, am sure they will stop the unnecessary attack on the pipelines.
The Ijaws are more sensible than the igbos who believes in nzogbu nzogbu ways of life. That is the right thing to do now. Let the governor and the lawmakers go and rest and political agreement will be reached before the expiration.

The constitution did not provide for the appointment of an administrator in case of an emergency rule.

If not for Tinubu's action tonight, civil servants in Rivers state won't get paid.
Not only that, the development saved Fubara. He won't have survived impeachment from the 27 lawmakers who were hell-bent.

So the boko Haram issue was less of an issue than what's happening in Rivers state? Lmao
Chief, the issues happening in Rivers could degenerate into a state of anarchy. The House of Assembly were on the verged of impeaching the governor. If that had happened, it would have caused a major problem with militants taking over the state thereby escalating the problem. I believe the decision of the President will give room for Fubara, House of Assembly members and Wike to work together underground before the expiration of the suspension. My opinion. Or what's your assessment of the situation?

Tinubu has messed himself up with this issue and it will spiral into his re-election loss
He refused to call wike to order maybe hoping fabura will bow down and let them control him

The situation now is complex, the militants will return, the economic hardship will more than double cos of the hit on the oil production and he can't defend himself to Nigerians going into 2027

He missed it!
The HOA were already conducting impeachment proceedings against the Governor!If that has succeeded which I believed it was, it could have been more devasting. Militants already blew up pipelines and they were ready to take over the state after the impeachment proceedings. I believe the President action has saved Fubara from impeachment, giving room for all stakeholders to learn the hard way and reconcile within the 6months period.
The president has intervened severally on this matter with the parties involved not showing sign of embracing peace. What would you have done??

He has a right to declare the SOE no doubt under any pretext as fit in the çonstitution no one questions that
The problem is the over reach of ordering to suspend the gov
The constitution doesn't give such powers to him
The gov is to remain even if his powers be reduced and work together with the armed forces as deployed until situation calms
But to suspend...it is clearly unconstitutional
GEJ did same in the heat of boko Haram in over 3 states without suspending gov or HoA not even LG chairman was suspended
