The Rivers State caucus in the National Assembly has commended President Bola Tinubu for adhering to the six-month time frame of the emergency rule in the state, which ended with the reinstatement of Governor Siminalayi Fubara last week. A prolonged rift between Governor Fubara and the Rivers State House of Assembly had crippled executive, legislative cooperation, stalling the presentation and passage of the 2025 budget. In response, President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in March, suspending both the governor and the legislature for six months. The federal lawmakers also appealed to elders, leaders, stakeholders, and residents of Rivers State to rally around the governor and the Assembly in the discharge of their duties. “Indeed, this has further shown his commitment to democratic norms, peace, unity, and development of Rivers State and the entire country.
