Tinubu Don Lift Emergency, Rivers State Go Resume Normal Gaskiya

Port Harcourt, Rivers State – Na today, President Bola Tinubu don finally land one big news wey dey make Rivers people shine their teeth. E announce say the state of emergency wey don dey hold dem for six months, go end today, September 17, 2025. From tomorrow, September 18, the Governor Siminalayi Fubara, him deputy Ngozi Nma Odu, and the entire members of Rivers State House of Assembly go resume dem work.

Tinubu talk am for one important statement wey come out from Abuja, say the emergency wey start since March 18, 2025, na im make sense. At that time, e be like say Rivers State don scatter everywhere, governance dey rest for ground like say dem don throway am for waste bin. Na him call the situation ‘total paralysis of governance’ (as if na one fish wey dem no fit buy).

“E no go sweet for me as President, if I no fit use the powers wey constitution give me to stop this wahala,” Tinubu yarn. E no just stop there, e also remind us say Supreme Court talk say “no government dey for Rivers State” at that time. That one no be jolly gist, but na serious matter o!

Tinubu also talk say the decision to suspend dem offices no be say e just waka come and do am anyhow, but na because National Assembly support am. E wan make sure say peace and order go return fully before dem go start enjoying democracy wey we don dey talk since.

Even though over 40 lawsuits try to challenge the emergency declaration (people wey no gree rest, abi?), Tinubu gree say the step wey e take, no be small thing. “We don dey feel one new spirit of understanding among stakeholders for Rivers, and dis one sabi make sense to end the emergency,” he add.

As dem dey ready to enjoy their democracy back, Tinubu call on all governors and assemblies across di country to put their heads together and make harmony with the executive and legislative arms matter. So dem go fit enjoy wetin dem dey call dividends of democracy (abi na pepper soup dem dey distribute?).

For the past six months, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas don dey play the role of Sole Administrator for Rivers State as dem don lock the Governor, Deputy Governor, and their lawmakers inside ‘time out’ like small pikin wey misbehave.

Now we dey cross our fingers as dem dey come back into political action, make we see how dem go manage this one wey be like new beginning. Rivers State, we hope say peace go reign! Make we just dey observe and chop popcorn, as we dey watch wetin go happen next.
