The declaration of state of emergency in Rivers State took another dimension this Friday as a large number of women staged a protest march in Port Harcourt on Friday demanding the reinstatement of the suspended Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The women captured in a video marching to the State Government House with different placards with inscriptions such as ‘Bring back Fubara’, ‘Is the law different for Rivers State? God of justice, arise for Rivers State’, ‘Save our democracy’, ‘End injustice and bring back our governor’.
The protesters appealed to President Bola Tinubu, to immediately reinstate all democratic institutions in Rivers State, including the return ofbthe duly elected governor.
They further demanded an end to what they termed as “unconstitutional military rule in Rivers State, masked as a state of emergency”.
Recall, Governor Fubara his deputy and all members of the House of Assembly were earlier in March suspended for six months following the declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers by Tinubu.
