Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State on Friday disclosed why he did not challenge his suspension and the state of emergency declared in the state in court.
Fubara explained that he chose to cooperate with President
Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly.
Tinubu had suspended Fubara for six months while declaring a
state of emergency during the same period.
Following his suspension, some Nigerians had urged Fubara to
challenge the president’s declaration in court.
Despite these calls, Fubara opted for reconciliation while
serving out his suspension.
Yesterday, Tinubu lifted the emergency rule while
reinstating Fubara.
However, in a state-wide address to announce his resumption
of duties, Fubara said his personal conviction on sacrifice guided his
decision.
He said: “As your Governor, I accepted to abide by the state
of emergency declaration and chose to cooperate with Mr. President.
“This was why I also resisted the pressure to challenge the
constitutionality of the declaration of a state of emergency, the suspension of
democratic institutions, and all other actions that we endured during this
difficult period.”
