Tinubu Ends Emergency Rule in Rivers State, Officials to Resume Duties
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lifted the emergency rule imposed on Rivers State, directing Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other officials to return to office. The emergency rule, declared in March 2025, was lifted due to the state's governance paralysis.
Tinubu expressed gratitude for the support received and emphasized the importance of democratic governance. The decision to end the emergency rule came after failed mediation attempts and a groundswell of enthusiasm for the return to democratic processes in Rivers State.
The move signifies a step towards restoring normalcy and democratic principles in the state.
