In a broadcast on Tuesday, March 18, Tinubu announced the immediate suspension of Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and the entire Rivers State House of Assembly for six months, citing political instability..
The surprising move has sparked heated debate throughout the country, with Nigerians, including celebrities, disputing its constitutional legitimacy.
In the midst of the outrage, Israel DMW went to Instagram to deliver a history lesson.
The entertainment hypeman shared the front page of a 2004 newspaper captioned with a deep sigh, which recalls a similar case in Nigerian history.
According to the old news, this is not the first time a sitting president has exercised such executive authority.
It claimed that in May 2004, exactly one year into his second term, President Olusegun Obasanjo announced a state of emergency in Plateau State in response to fatal religious violence.

At the time, reports stated that Christian militants massacred around 600 Muslims in Yelwa, Plateau State.
Obasanjo dismissed Plateau State Governor Joshua Dariye, accusing him of failing to stop the killings.
He also suspended the state legislature and appointed Chris Ali, a retired army general, as interim administrator for six months.
