Atiku Slams Lifting of Fubara's Suspension in Rivers State as Unconstitutional

Atiku criticized the lifting of Fubara's suspension in Rivers State, calling it unconstitutional and evidence of creeping dictatorship. President Bola Tinubu ended the state of emergency in Rivers State imposed on March 18, 2025, following political crises and conflicts.

Atiku emphasized that Tinubu had no legal right to suspend a democratically elected governor and lawmaker, labeling the action as unlawful despite the reversal. The situation in Rivers State has been contentious, with the oil pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta adding to the challenges faced by the region.
