In tonight’s national broadcast, President Tinub suspended Gov Fubara, his deputy and Mrs. Ngozi Odu, ANC member of the House of Representatives for six months.
In this case, the political situation in River State was sober and the failure of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of River State to make this statement as President, as required by Section 305(5) of 1999, which was amended, which was inevitable for me to declare as Proceeding No. 305(5) of 1995. Starting today on March 18, 2025, the state of emergency in River State takes effect, and so do I.
According to this declaration, the Governor of River State, his deputy, Mrs. Ngozi Odu, Mrs. Siminalayi Fubara and all elected members of the General Assembly of River State Assembly were hereby suspended for the early period of six months. ”
At the same time, I hereby nominate Deputy Admiral Ibokette Ibas (RTD) as an administrator to take charge of the affairs of the state, in the interests of the good people of Livers. To avoid doubt, this statement will not affect the judiciary of the river state, which should continue to operate in accordance with its constitutional mandate. ”
