Atiku Criticizes Tinubu's Unconstitutional Actions in Rivers State

Former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, criticized President Bola Tinubu's suspension and subsequent reinstatement of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, as unconstitutional. Atiku insisted that Tinubu lacked the constitutional authority to take such actions, warning against authoritarian tendencies.

He emphasized that lifting the suspension of Governor Fubara should not be celebrated as it was illegal from the outset. Atiku highlighted the troubling signs of dictatorship in the move and expressed concerns over the abuse of power.

The statement was shared via Atiku's official social media account, calling attention to the need for upholding democratic processes in Nigeria.
