Fubara Depressed by Emergency Rule in Rivers

Suspended governor of Rivers State; Siminalayi Fubara, says he feels depressed over the declaration of emergency rule in the state.

Speaking when Muslim leaders visited him at his private residence in Port Harcourt, Fubara said he and his team were depressed over the situation.

“We, as humans, might feel a bit depressed because of the situation. Maybe because of what we are seeing, but we might not understand that what is deeper and beyond us happened,” he said. “But in everything, we have decided to give glory to the Almighty God.

“No matter what we see, we must remain steadfast. In all things, we give glory to Almighty God. I believe that, in the end, we will emerge stronger. If God could be patient with Noah to allow even the snail to enter the Ark, then patience remains an essential virtue in our struggle.”

President Bola Tinubu had on March 18,  declared a state of emergency in Rivers, citing the prolonged political crisis in the state between the governor and 27 lawmakers of the Rivers state house of Assembly.

Tinubu also suspended Fubara as governor, Ngozi Odu as deputy governor and all members of the House of Assembly for an initial period of six months. He appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, a retired Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), as sole administrator.
