PRESIDENT TINUBU, RETURN GOVERNOR FUBARA — RIVERS STATE IS BLEEDING UNDER YOUR SILENCE
Mr. President, how long will you continue to watch an entire state bleed under the weight of illegality? Rivers State is neither at war nor facing any natural disaster, yet it suffers, crippled by your silence. You have permitted, through inaction, the imposition of an unconstitutional sole administrator whose existence defies our democratic order. This has not only disrupted governance but also trampled on the will of our people who freely elected Governor fubara.
This Ibas now wielding power in Rivers holds no constitutional backing. Under his control, the state’s economy has deteriorated, institutions have collapsed, and the people are burdened with untold hardship. Even after Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, publicly reconciled and committed to peace and cooperation, you have refused to restore the Governor’s full constitutional authority. There is no crisis in Rivers, so what justifies this prolonged political sabotage?
As we speak, state agencies, parastatals, and development boards have been rendered lifeless. The state is being ruled like a personal estate by individuals without mandate, no transparency, no accountability, and a clear violation of the rule of law. This is not federalism. This is not democracy. This is the silent death of a state under your watch, and the legacy of your silence will not be forgotten by the people.
Mr. President, leadership requires courage and commitment to justice. You swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Now is the time to live up to that sacred duty. Restore Governor Fubara. Uphold the will of the people. Rivers State must not be sacrificed for political convenience. Let democracy breathe again in our land.
Bring Back Governor fubara to continue his good works
