The Senate has entered a closed session to deliberate on President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of emergency rule in Rivers State and the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other elected officials.

The closed session was announced after Senate President Godswill Akpabio read a letter from Tinubu at plenary on Thursday.

Senate leader Opeyemi Bamidele subsequently moved a motion for a closed session, pursuant to Order 135 of the Senate rules.

The motion was seconded by the Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro.

PUNCH Online reports that Tinubu, on Tuesday night, declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, suspending Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for six months.


Tinubu writes Reps on Rivers emergency rule
In a national broadcast, Tinubu cited prolonged political instability, constitutional breaches, and security threats as reasons for the extraordinary measure.

The crisis, which had paralysed governance in the oil-rich state, stems from a power struggle between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.


The President also appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Étè Ibas (retd.) as the sole administrator to oversee the state’s affairs until normalcy is restored.

Ibas served as Chief of Naval Staff from 2015 to 2021 under former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Closed?

Forget it. If them never suspend Natasha now we for see live transmission via X

$50000 to enslave their futures.

It won't be a surprise they accent to the illegality. The current senate is just a bunch of useless rubber-stamped stooges and vestigial appendage of the executive. They have long compromised their value and integrity hence help in the bastardisation of this nation.

Sen. Serika Dickson is doing his bid to challenge Tinibu's declaration and makes sure that the SoE doesn't stand in Rivers State.

Some people who supported Akpabio against Natasha, are confused if they should still support him or not on this Rivers State of Emergency. Lol
In futures when another president will just come out remove all the governors that is when we go understand the effects

If majority of the lawmakers are not in support,, even the voice vote won't be successful. Majority of the senators will vote in favour of the SOE for the sake of Nigeria
