What is happening in Rivers State is really disturbing, democracy in Nigeria has been taken for granted.

40 days agoThe Nigerian Senate has entered a closed-door session to deliberate President Bola Tinubu’s recent emergency declaration in Rivers State, which also led to the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and the State House of Assembly.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio read out a letter from President Tinubu, requesting the Senate’s ratification of the emergency rule. In the letter, Tinubu defended the decision by stating it was made “in the interest of preserving peace and ensuring governance is not disrupted in Rivers State” amid rising law and order concerns.
Shortly after the letter was read, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele moved for a closed session—invoking Order 135 of the Senate Rules—an action seconded by Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro. Although the detailed discussions remain confidential, several senators shared their views before the session began, while opposition lawmakers and civil society groups have already voiced apprehension over the legality and broader implications of this drastic measure.
If the Senate ratifies Tinubu’s request, federal authorities will assume control of key governance functions in Rivers State, effectively suspending certain democratic institutions on a temporary basis. As deliberations continue behind closed doors, stakeholders and Nigerians alike await the final outcome of the Senate’s decision.
