By Publisher<\/p>\n

Kindly share:<\/p>\n

The Senate has joined the House of Representatives to approve President Bola Tinubu\u2019s emergency rule imposed on Rivers State.<\/p>\n

The Red Chamber of the National Assembly arrived at the decision after a closed-door session by lawmakers on Thursday, few hours after
\nthe Green Chamber had done the same thus legitimising the controversial state of emergency declaration.<\/p>\n

However, the Senate resolved that the president must review or terminate the emergency rule at any time within the six-month period.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
They also resolved that the National Assembly should create an ad hoc committee, made up of members from both chambers, to oversee developments in Rivers State during the duration of the emergency rule.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, another committee of respected Nigerians should be set up to mediate and reconcile the political crisis in the state during the period.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the newly appointed sole administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas (Rtd.), arrived in Rivers on Thursday to take charge of affairs.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
