Rivers Crisis Deepens: Wabara Condemns Fubara’s Suspension, SERAP Sues Tinubu
The crisis in Rivers State has taken a dramatic turn with the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, a move that has been widely condemned by various stakeholders, including former Senate President Adolphus Wabara ¹.
Wabara, in a strongly-worded statement, denounced the suspension, describing it as an affront to democracy and the rule of law. His condemnation is the latest in a series of reactions from prominent Nigerians who have expressed outrage over the suspension.
Meanwhile, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has taken the matter a step further by suing President Bola Tinubu over the suspension ². SERAP’s lawsuit is a significant development in the crisis, as it seeks to challenge the constitutional basis of the suspension.
The Rivers crisis has been simmering for weeks, with tensions rising between the state government and the federal authorities. The suspension of Governor Fubara has now brought the crisis to a boiling point, with many fearing that it could escalate into a full-blown constitutional crisis.
As the situation continues to unfold, Nigerians are watching with bated breath, hoping that a resolution can be found quickly to prevent further instability in the country.
