Why I didn’t challenge emergency rule declaration – Fubara

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, explained that he chose not to challenge the emergency rule declared by President Bola Tinubu, stressing that no sacrifice was too great in the pursuit of peace, stability, and progress for the state.

The News Round The Clock (NRTC) reported that Tinubu lifted the emergency rule on Thursday, after which the sole administrator, Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, formally handed back power following six months in charge.

Speaking during his state broadcast, Fubara said, “As your governor, I accepted to abide by the state of emergency declaration and chose to cooperate with Mr President and the National Assembly, guided by my conviction that no sacrifice was too great to secure peace, stability, and progress of Rivers State.

“This was why I also resisted the pressure to challenge the constitutionality of the declaration of a state of emergency, the suspension of democratic institutions, and all other actions that we endured during this difficult period.”

He stated that the past six months had been immensely challenging for the state under the emergency rule.

Fubara noted that during this period, Tinubu successfully brokered a peace process that brought all parties to the table.

“Our Leader, His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and I, as your Governor, have all accepted to bury the hatchet and embrace peace and reconciliation in the best interest of our dear Rivers State.”
