Tinubu Meets With South-south Monarchs Over Rivers Emergency Rule In Aso Villa by chopnaira(op): 9:43pm On Mar 20, 2025

President Bola Tinubu is currently in a meeting with the Asagba of Asaba, Delta State, Obi Professor Epiphany Azinge, SAN, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Prof. Azinge is the 14th Asagba of Asaba and was crowned the Obi on 26th August 2024.

The first class monarch came alongside some royal fathers suspected to be members of the Obi-in-Council.

According to available information, the visit comes in reaction to tension in some parts of the South-South geopolitical zone as a result of the recent declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.

President Tinubu had declared a state of emergency in Rivers State on Tuesday, suspending Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Deputy Governor Prof. Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for an initial period of six months.

President Tinubu had declared a state of emergency in Rivers State on Tuesday, suspending Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Deputy Governor Prof. Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for an initial period of six months.

In a national broadcast, Tinubu, citing prolonged political instability, constitutional violations, and security threats, said the extraordinary measure was necessary to restore order in the oil-rich state.

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

As part of the emergency measures, Tinubu appointed Vice Admiral Ibas (retd.) to oversee the state’s administration until normalcy is restored.

The declaration of emergency rule has sparked mixed reactions across the country, with some Nigerians supporting it as a necessary step to restore stability, while others see it as an overreach of executive power.

Tinubu is a listening president.

I believe the monarchs will also engage with the Vice Admiral to see how things go in the interim.

There can never be progress without peace.

Fubara, Wike, Rivers legislators and parties involved should iron out their issues/differences.

Like him or hate him, Tinubu plays the game of politics better. He will give you sweet for a period of time but if you try to be stubborn or you don't dance to his tune, he will give you dongoyaro to cure your Jedi(pile).

The president is doing the right thing.

How is he doing the right thing when it's obvious that Wike is part of the problem.

If he had sack him since, peace would have since return to PH, because someone would not continue to dance when there is no musical sound.

But he chose to keep him because of his political interest. History would not forget these issue.

Tinubu earlier advice the kings to talk to Fubara but I guess Fubara did not listen to them or they failed to tell Fubara the truth

See my guy you need beating so that this your eye service will stop. If he was a listening president, he would not have declared state of emergency first.

I hope at least one of them would be able to tell him to his face that he himself, has hand in the crises. And that, he should stop all these hypocrisies.
