The announcement came in a nationwide address, where he highlighted the persistent crisis, the destruction of oil pipelines by militants, and the breakdown of governance in the state.
Tinubu also suspended all elected members of Rivers state’s House of Assembly and named Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd) as administrator to oversee the state’s activities.
Tinubu stated that despite multiple interventions, the dispute between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the state House of Assembly had weakened governance, leaving residents without the benefits of democracy.
With tensions escalating and security threats rising, the president said the extraordinary measure was necessary to restore peace and stability.
