Kenneth Okonkwo Challenges Tinubu's Authority in Rivers State Emergency Dispute

Kenneth Okonkwo, speaking through an official statement, disputed President Bola Tinubu's authority to reinstate Fubara in Rivers State after the state emergency automatically expired. Okonkwo argued that Tinubu's proclamation had naturally lapsed after six months, and he lacked the power to reinstate Fubara as the Governor.

The statement emphasized the need for the people of Rivers State to have elected representatives rather than a Sole Administrator. Okonkwo highlighted the importance of adhering to the law and organizing local government elections.

The dispute revolves around the power dynamics and legalities surrounding the state of emergency and the reinstatement of officials in Rivers State.
