Efforts to impeach Fubara began on Monday, barely 24 hours before Mr Tinubu imposed an emergency ordinance.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers like Inibehe Effiong and Folarin \u2018Falz\u2019 Falana have slammed the president for taking the law into his own hands without regard for the Constitution\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>The president named the retired chief of naval staff, Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, as the military administrator in Rivers in the interim.<\/p>\n<p>South-South leaders, PANDEF condemn\u00a0 emergency rule<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, several South-South leaders and stakeholders have decried\u00a0 President Bola Tinubu\u2019s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State and impropriety of brazenly backing\u00a0 the Federal Capital Territory Minister against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the state\u2019s citizens<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0 the one-time Attorney General of Akwa Ibom State, Uwemedimo Nwoko, SAN, the decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State was\u00a0 ill-advised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president\u2019s action is not well thought out. The situation in Rivers State has not met any of the conditions prescribed by the constitution for the declaration of a state of emergency by the president. It falls short of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the president\u2019s action is ill-advised and not based on the provisions of the Constitution. For me, it is part of a script to take over the control of Rivers State, which they had already written and have been acting stage-by-stage and scene-by-scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former President of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Eric Omare Esq., said: \u201cPresident Tinubu took a wrong decision; I strongly condemn his one-sided action, and again, removing Governor Fubara won\u2019t solve the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President\u2019s intervention in the Rivers State crisis has been one-sided. His actions and body language have encouraged the FCT Minister, Wike, to fuel the crisis up to this point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Governor Fubara is blamed for not doing enough to handle the situation, what has the president done in response to Wike\u2019s unnecessary outbursts, which laid the foundation for the tension in the past week?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that an unbiased president should have called Wike to order or sack him to demonstrate his unbiased position in this matter. But from the onset, the president has been biased in favor of Wike, and that has not helped in the resolution of the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the apex sociopolitical body for the South-South geopolitical zone, the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, said on\u00a0 Tuesday it was studying the situation and would soon come up with its position.A statement yesterday by PANDEF\u2019s National Spokesman, Chief Obiuwevbi Ominimini, read: \u2018\u2019PANDEF is seriously alarmed by the state of emergency declared in Rivers State due to a crisis that is ordinarily avoidable. We are, therefore, studying the situation and we shall soon come up with Pandef\u2019s position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Amaebi Clarkson, former national spokesman of the Movement for the Survival of Ijaw Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND), \u201cI am sure the governor would challenge the constitutionality or legality of the state of emergency. But politically, the emergency is in bad faith and obviously, the execution of a well-oiled script hatched in furtherance of the 2027 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president did not act like a president of the entire nation, but rather he took sides with his minister to punish the governor and left out any punishment to his appointee. He executed the plan of Wike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirstly, Wike goaded the Ijaw by going to their homeland to provoke them, but he did get the needed reaction. Then the next day, there was an explosion in an oil facility, and shortly before the broadcast, there was another explosion, which he hinged upon as one of the core reasons for the declaration.<\/p>\n<p>Also reacting , The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, Worldwide, has strongly decried\u00a0 the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, describing it as a clear \u201ccase of oppression and intimidation of Ijaw people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spokesman of IYC, Amb Binebai Princewill, said: \u201cWe condemn the state of emergency declared on Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu, the reason being that we have states that have been boiling and grappling with insurgency; Boko Haram and herdsmen have held sway, perhaps, because it is Ijaw matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see it as a case of oppression and intimidation meted out on the Ijaw people and the people of Rivers State in particular, and for the man who fuelled the whole crisis\u2014nothing has been done or said about him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An elder statesman and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Hon Charles Idahosa, said the declaration of a state of emergency by President Tinubu was an opportunity for the warring parties to find a meeting point and resolve the political crisis in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFubara did not thread softly at all; all the politically hungry people in Rivers State took advantage of it by giving him wrong advice. Now that the president has declared a state of emergency, this is the time for them to take the opportunity\u2014himself, the legislators, and the Minister of the FCT should come together and find a solution to their differences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should see if they can prevail on the presidency to find a solution to the crisis in these first six months because it will be very difficult for the presidency to be calling them. He did that before, but they did not listen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wike, Fubara and Tinubu By Amah Kindly share: Siminalayi Fubara, the
