But Ojukwu later abandoned his people and escaped to another country during which many of them were killed. Why should a man start what he could not finish?

Bro am not an Igbo man but I just like the man role in play in Nigeria. I respect he, I admire he, and take he as my role model. Is an hero

One of my favorite legends and my hero in Nigeria army. I like Ojukwu. May his soul continue to be resting in peace

Tinubu is a curse to Nigeria democracy

*TEXT OF THE BROADCAST BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES, DECLARING STATE OF EMERGENCY IN RIVERS STATE ON TUESDAY 18 MARCH 2025*

Fellow Nigerians, I feel greatly disturbed at the turn we have come to regarding the political crisis in Rivers State. Like many of you, I have watched with concern the development with the hope that the parties involved would allow good sense to prevail at the soonest, but all that hope burned out without any solution to the crisis.

With the crisis persisting, there is no way democratic governance, which we have all fought and worked for over the years, can thrive in a way that will redound to the benefit of the good people of the state. The state has been at a standstill since the crisis started, with the good people of the state not being able to have access to the dividends of democracy.

Also, it is public knowledge that the Governor of Rivers State for unjustifiable reasons, demolished the House of Assembly of the state as far back as 13th December 2023 and has, up until now, fourteen (14) months after, not rebuilt same. I have made personal interventions between the contending parties for a peaceful resolution of the crisis, but my efforts have been largely ignored by the parties to the crisis. I am also aware that many well-meaning Nigerians, Leaders of thought and Patriotic groups have also intervened at various times with the best of intentions to resolve the matter, but all their efforts were also to no avail. Still, I thank them.

On February 28, 2025, the supreme court, in a judgment in respect of about eight consolidated appeals concerning the political crisis in Rivers State, based on several grave unconstitutional acts and disregard of rule of law that have been committed by the Governor of Rivers State as shown by the evidence before it pronounced in very clear terms:

“a government cannot be said to exist without one of the three arms that make up the government of a state under the 1999 Constitution as amended. In this case the head of the executive arm of the government has chosen to collapse the legislature to enable him to govern without the legislature as a despot. As it is there is no government in Rivers State.”

The above pronouncement came after a catalogue of judicial findings of constitutional breaches against the Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Going Forward in their judgment, and having found and held that 27 members of the House who had allegedly defected

“are still valid members of Rivers State House of Assembly and cannot be prevented from participating in the proceedings of that House by the 8th Respondent (that is, the Governor) in cohorts with four members”

The Supreme Court then made some orders to restore the state to immediate constitutional democracy. These orders include the immediate passing of an Appropriation Bill by the Rivers State House of Assembly which up till now has not been facilitated.

Some militants had threatened fire and brimstone against their perceived enemy of the governor who has up till now NOT disowned them.

Apart from that both the House and the governor have not been able to work together.

Both of them do not realise that they are in office to work together for the peace and good governance of the state.

The latest security reports made available to me show that between yesterday and today there have been disturbing incidents of vandalization of pipelines by some militant without the governor taking any action to curtail them. I have, of course given stern order to the security agencies to ensure safety of lives of the good people of Rivers State and the oil pipelines.

With all these and many more, no good and responsible President will standby and allow the grave situation to continue without taking remedial steps prescribed by the Constitution to address the situation in the state, which no doubt requires extraordinary measures to restore good governance, peace, order and security.

In the circumstance, having soberly reflected on and evaluated the political situation in Rivers State and the Governor and Deputy Governor of Rivers State having failed to make a request to me as President to issue this proclamation as required by section 305(5) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, it has become inevitably compelling for me to invoke the provision of section 305 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended, to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State with effect from today, 18th March, 2025 and I so do.

By this declaration, the Governor of Rivers State, Mr Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Mrs Ngozi Odu and all elected members of the House of Assembly of Rivers State are hereby suspended for an initial period of six months.

In the meantime, I hereby nominate Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd) as Administrator to take charge of the affairs of the state in the interest of the good people of Rivers State. For the avoidance of doubt, this declaration does not affect the judicial arm of Rivers State, which shall continue to function in accordance with their constitutional mandate.

The Administrator will not make any new laws. He will, however, be free to formulate regulations as may be found necessary to do his job, but such regulations will need to be considered and approved by the Federal Executive Council and promulgated by the President for the state.

This declaration has been published in the Federal Gazette, a copy of which has been forwarded to the National Assembly in accordance with the Constitution. It is my fervent hope that this inevitable intervention will help to restore peace and order in Rivers State by awakening all the contenders to the constitutional imperatives binding on all political players in Rivers State in particular and Nigeria as a whole.

Long live a united, peaceful, secure and democratic Rivers State in particular and the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a whole.

Rotimi Ameachi was minister under Buhari yet he do not used federal to fight Wike. Now Wike was using federal to fight the seating governor to the extend of declaring state of emergency in Rivers State. Wike is one of the foolishness politician I have sight on. May God help Rivers State

The really people involving the impeachment of the governor are not Rivers assemble law maker. Those who wanted to impeached the governor are Tinubu, supreme Court, Wike, APC national chairman,. This are the people responsible

I will insult Tinubu so that I too will popular in Nigeria. If want make name in social media just insult APC govt then DSS or police will come after you.

BloomingDale:


He said the truth na. If opobo were real Ijaw people they would have been part of Bayelsa when they were splitting rivers into rivers and bayelsa.

oga shut up, do you attend geography in secondary school, why do we have some Igbo, Yoruba in some state but the are not in their land

The easy way to change the mind of member of house assembly both federal and state is envelope to each member. The governor should have buy third quarter of the members for his favour. Send them 20 million each and they will deny Wike and jump to your camp

This guy never find what him looking for. Tinubu will no give you any appointment because he no trust u

Deepspirituals:
Which is Right Party .

PDP / APC

labour party

Wrong party

Africa especially Nigerian with backwardness.
Always think of Imagination. This can not happen

Xisnin:

How old are you?
It happened in Plateau and it happened in Ekiti.

when our eyes never opened for democracy. Democracy is governments for the civilian not military

If minister of works Dave Umehi or ur master Tinubu is the owner of cement company would you advice to reduce price with the rate of dollar, you are the government find way to reduce price from all goods and patrol. Allow poor man to breath

Both are the same so let fond hands keep watching them.

When the head is bad what are you expecting from the body. Tinubu appointed his area boys to become minister why the country will not chaos in the area. Tinubu government will be the worst government in Nigeria. Liar, liar government

Which of the football tournament in the world is more harder than Africa cup of nations except the world cup. European championship is very easy to predict and Copa America is two countries cup. Brazil or Argentina cup. James just talking out of point.

What is this country turning into?
The Police found four heads in a students bag from Oguta last night around 10pm.

A young man, about 20 years, with a large handbag, got into a taxi lastnight. The vigilant driver smelled a strong odor coming from the youngster's bag . The horrible smell made the driver to suspect something.

He then used the headlight of his car to alert the police at Okuzu junction check point, but because of 100 naira the police didn't even notice anything.

When the driver arrived at the bye pass, he set off the alarm, held the young guy and alerted the police to search the young man's bag.
Many people were afraid . One of the Police was shocked when he opened the young man's bag and found four heads in the young man's bag.

After examination of the heads, it was found that the heads were well known. It was Tecno charger head, Samsung charger head, Itel charger head and a head of Onion! It was the Onion head which due to the heat in the bag was exuding the stench.
