The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, LATEEF FAGBEMI (S.A.N), has sprung into action and commenced drafting the response of President BOLA TINUBU to the People’s Democratic Party’s governors’ suit challenging the declaration of emergency rule in the State.
The PDP governors, on their part, have engaged seven Senior Advocates of Nigeria and six other attorneys to battle the Federal Government at the Supreme Court on what powers the President has to declare emergency rule in a state and suspend a democratically elected institution of the state.
The PDP governors are also contesting the appointment of a sole administrator by the President to manage the affairs of Rivers State pending the duration of the suspension of Governor SIMINALAYI FUBARA.
