Peter Obi, Others React to Emergency Rules in Rivers State
The situation was still manageable and did not warrant a state of emergency.
Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate:
” The unilateral decision of President Bola Tinubu to remove Governor Siminalayi Fubara from office is not only unconstitutional but also reckless. “It has plunged us back into a state of lawlessness, undoing the progress we have made over 26 years of democratic governance.
By disregarding the rule of law, the President has shown a dangerous willingness to trample on democracy.”
New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) National Publicity Secretary Ladipo Johnson: ” It is tantamount to a “presidential coup against a constitutionally elected government of the people in Rivers State.”
Prof Benjamin Okaba, President of Ijaw National Congress (INC): “It is a clear state of dictatorship in civilian clothing.”
Joseph Ambakaderimo, Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of Community Development Committees (CDC) of Niger Delta Oil and Gas-Producing Areas: ” The situation was still manageable and did not warrant a state of emergency.
A state of emergency can lead to guerrilla warfare, and this country is not ready for such a dire situation.”
Martin Amaewhule, the Speaker Rivers State House of Assembly:
“The condition of our dear Rivers State today is mainly because of the malfeasance of the Governor who serially disobeyed judgments and Orders of Courts and failed to govern the state in line with his Oath of office and the Constitution.
“The Governor’s despotic and tyrannical actions as confirmed by the Courts in which he also unconstitutionally obstructed the Rivers State House of Assembly which is an arm of government from functioning underlies this situation.”

……says Smoke Caused by Fire Suppression System
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has clarified that there was no fire at Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos following an incident that prompted an earlier advisory.
Preliminary findings show that the smoke observed in the affected area resulted from the discharge of the terminal’s FM-200 fire suppression system. The cause of the system’s activation is still under investigation.
Normal operations have since resumed at the terminal. Detailed investigations are ongoing to establish the exact cause of the incident.
FAAN thanked passengers, airlines, airport users and other stakeholders for their understanding and cooperation, and reaffirmed its commitment to the safety and security of all airport operations.
