REVISIT THE STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARATION A POLITICAL IMPERATIVE IN NATIONAL REDEMPTION, IF…..

 




This release is about feeding more clarity to salient points made, raised an emphasized in relation to the State of Emergency Rule declared in Rivers State by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu a few months ago.



Long running political and other critical factors pulling against Nigeria's unity and progress are very active against the Tinubu Administration.



The factors in question selectively honor the letters, the spirit and the sound legal interpretations of the Nigerian Constitution.



The malevolent factors in question are far more selfish and disruptive than logical to the patriotic demands of Nigeria's existence and quest for successful nationhood.



The political rift between ex-Governor Nyesome Wike and his immediate successor, Siminalayi Fubara, was a raging, ravaging and escalating political storm.



On the 18th of March, 2025, President Bola Ahmmed Tinubu declared a State of Emergency on Rivers State inline with a relevant component of the Nigerian Constitution.




Thể matter appears settled sequel, but its ripples of controversy linger.


Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) and other key-political-interest-drivers wrongly and ignorantly accused and are still insisting that President Bola Tinubu violated the Constitution at invoking Emergency Rule in Rivers State by the way and manner he went about it.



That President Tinubu's Emergency Rule declaration did not meet the Constitutional threshold for such an intervention stands-out in their argument. What a joke!



They also insist that the President is not constitutionally empowered to suspend an elected Governor. Embarrassment!


It is important to highlight the fact that the Constitution does not empower the Governor of a State that is subject to Emergency Rule by the Presidents Constitutionally allowed and Constitutionally guided prerogative, to keep Governing the State while the Emergency Rule prevails.



This fact gives strength to the logical emphasis that Emergency Rule, as maybe invoked by the President sequel to adhering to preceding and binding legislative protocols as contained in the relevant Constitutional guidelines, is a temporary intervention (six months), and that the Governor of the State is temporarily separated from his powers within the period.



In other words, the letters and the spirit of Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution ban the Governor from exercising power as Governor while



Emergency Rule persists in his State within the period Constitutionally allowed. Section 305 does not visibly state that the President should or must announce to the Nigerian public the Constitutional separation of the Governor from his administrative powers as Presidential suspension of his status as Governor.


Meaning, Mr President can only be accused by emotions and sentiments (not indicted by the relevant provisions of the 1999 Constitution) for publicly announcing the Constitutional separation of the Governor of Rivers State from his administrative powers as effective suspension of his status as Governor of Rivers State.



There is no gainsaying that emotions and sentiments are not Çonstitutionally binding on the President. They are, at best or at most, persuaşive.



I therefore here-submit that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's invocation of Emergency Rule in Rivers State was Constitutionally responsible and in order!


I acknowledge the desire to ensure that the President adheres always and strictly to the provisions of the governing Constitution of Nigeria's nascent democracy.



I also emphasize that the question is Bigger Than Constitutional Legitimacy!


Section 305 of the Nigerian Constitution expressly states the conditions and protocols applicable in respect of Presidential invocation of Emergency Rule either across or in any part of Nigeria.



The threshold for declaring a State of Emergency as provided for in the Constitution, are basically a set of occurrences that are antithetical to the peace, stability and existence of Nigeria as a whole and of any of the country's Component States.


Rivers State was caught-up in a political crisis that jeopardized the assigned operations of its Legislature (its House of Assembly). 


Violence was smoldering and rife across the State.


The principal parties to the crisis showed no willingness to sheath their sword. 


A range of important public property had been destroyed.


Some lives had been lost and more were at the risk of being lost to the escalating crisis. 


The potential of the situation spreading beyond the State was viable.


Should the President have waited for the situation to boil-over before intervening by invoking Section 305, knowing that the country as a whole is in fragile state?


The question of Constitutional threshold in Rivers case is answerable within two critical contexts, The Vivid Letters (Statements) Of Section 305, Political Wisdom.


The clearly lettered provisions of Section 305 have been a subject of sustained debate among diverse shades of opinion-leaders.


The acute scarcity of public recognition Of the President's political wisdom at invoking Emergency Rule on crisis-ridden Rivers state when and how he did proves minion and parochial political intelligence on the part of leaders of opinion who put the President's decision to public accusation in which sterile sentiments and emotions indicted Mr President.


The drafting and conveyance of the 1999 Constitution was a function of a conspicuous aberration, the rather rascally spirit of which haunts the use of that document as the binding legal guide of the underpinning management processes of Nigeria's embryonic democracy.



THE ABERRATION


Nigeria's 1999 Constitution was authored predominantly by the military and its ‘civilian intellectual contractors, both of whom were loyal pones of the feudal and brigand political ruling class of Northern Nigeria.


The above-stated is a fact that has been triggering consistent condemnation at the document and compelling key legal and political interest-drivers to call for its retirement and replacement.


THE IMPLICATION


The popular recognition of the 1999 Constitution as an unreliable guide to the management and evolution of democracy in Nigeria banishes the document to the realm of technical illegitimacy.


In the next few days the emergency rule would end or is going to be extended, depending on the Situation or things on the ground as per the report by the Administrator to the President of Nigeria, who will tell The People Of  The State and Nigeria the new way forward.


However, there is growing concern that all the parties are yet to come together because of certain events that have taken place that shows that all is not well with Rivers State, the suspended Governor travelled abroad to meet some Northern leaders instead of taking part in the Just concluded LGA elections as part Of the reconciliation process put up by the Administrator but the Minister Of the Federal Capital Territory as a peace maker did attend and voted in his ward.


Secondly, both the embattled suspended Governor and his godfather. His Excellency Barrister Nyesom Wike did not attend the church services meant to thank the Creator for a successful emergency rule but, their hearts were not touched to attend hence some of the people have the opinion that the parties are not yet ready to cooperate, and in order not to put the people in the dark to suffer more since governance is based on honesty and transparency, that the emergency could continue, The State House of Assembly that was bombed is yet to be fully repaired, and there is therefore no need to force the Administrator to move Without its completion, checking other contracts signed, etc.


Another opinion claims that the suspended Governor must have settled the Administrator and that was why the Administrator did not charge the Govern or for the bombing of the State Legislative Assembly and or institute commission of enquiry against the embattled suspended Governor and the Members of the State Legislator for the bombing of the State House of Assembly since the suspended Governor had enough time and was in a better position to repair the structure before the 16th March, 2025 before he was suspended, if his hands and others were clean.


The people are divided on the fact that both parties should have realized that it is this time that statesmanship should be demon strated fully as the way forward for the peace in Rivers State putting aside some feeble-minded unpatriotic Nigerians who would like to seize the unstable situation to create troubles for the people and the nation at large.


But now that Mr. President has disgraced all the pauperized leaders of confusion by lifting the State of Emergency, in peace I would say that the enemies of Africa have been disgraced because they planned for war to take place, but it did not. Same way they were against the Emergency Rule but they failed to produce a sound and intelligent pragmatic alternative instead of wasting time to propound immortality-based unworkable theories of deceit and hypocrisy.


So, His Excellency, Governor Fubara should be extremely careful not to allow any politician, young and old, to mislead you against His Excellency, Barrister 0. Wike, any more for what he did in asking all southerners to vote for President Tinubu whose mandate is based on national principle that it is the turn of the south to produce next President was being challenged by few renegade northern politicians led by tribalism and religious fanatic jihadist Alhaji Atiku, as if the southerners were slaves.


His Excellency Governor Fubara should not allow any of the northern politicians to mislead Him again as they did that led to the revealing of the secret accord between him and the federal Capital Territory Minister again because what His excellency Barrister Wike did in supporting President Tinubu was the EGBESU MASTER STROKE to prove to the world that the black man has arrived.


Right now, we are told that most illegal bunkering services are headed by non-indigenes, operating under the cover of the law enforcement agencies and wish the Governor to invite and give High Chief Tompolo wider powers to ensure that this injustice and cruelty to the owners of the land can be addressed and stopped.


Governorship, should not be seen as private property and business, using underground pipes to steal crude to Europe, but should be seen as the greatest opportunity bestowed on any person in Nigeria and Africa to address the age long notion that the black man is stupid. That, give him one billion naira and he or she would betray his or her family, whereas the general efforts being made to stabilize the people into realizing that, once the people are conveniently at peace, invention and science, which are integral part of man, in pure consciousness, will start to flow from within, like the bee making honey, compared to now a days where all of us are looking forward to the airport and seaport for finished good things to come from overseas, whereas the raw material for making them are here.


Stability means, the Governor must be good, allow the Legislature and Judiciary to work, take care of the Journalist as your next of kin, don't detain but educate them. Then you start with building good houses, good roads, regular electricity, good transport system, pure borehole water can be gotten from under the lagoon, health facilities, whether be built on water, schools and school buses, bus orthodox and traditional can museums, civic centers, etc. Can be done within the remaining 3 years of buses for people above 60.


Governor Fubara Tenure, if he is serious to make history where so many good citizens Like Jim Lawson, Isa Wali, Melford Okilo, Almeseigha, Adaka Baro, Mbonu Ojike, Michael Okpara, to mention but few, did not have the opportunity that our dear Brother and Son, His excellency SIMI THE G Is having right now.


The Governor must move fast to carry all members of his team to join the All Progressive Congress to support the President to salvage the blacks and the black communities all over the country and Africa.


Governor must not join or think of entertaining any new political party comprising those confused Africans whose understanding of politics is to enslave the black man and whose stock in trade is to indirectly push the black people into the global theatre of war where hatred, agony, pain and uncertainties in the name of religion and political brigandage persists.


It is an undeniable fact that there has been intense and multifaceted neo- colonial War of dominance and control of Nigeria through the threat by the Christian and Islamic Jihadists which has transformed into Myetti Allah Cattle Dealers, the AK47 carrier Herdsmen, the generally opposed Military-imposed 1999 Constitution, the poorly financed and untrained Police Force, the loss of the spirit de corps in the Nigerian Army since 1993, the poisonous theology of God of the Dead, the morally bankrupt education system, and the totally distorted history of the black race, the agitation by IPOB, Yoruba Nation inferiority complex, and the grossly false belief that everything white man does (even with a gun in your throat) is the best, one that covertly aims to prevent Nigeria(part of the area is the citadel of civilization), from building the capacity to play its destined role as the geo political and economic dynamo for the global resurgence of the black race, hence the Rivers State as it is now requires the larger wisdom than Solomon.


Therefore, it is being recommended also that the Governor should call for a General Meeting of the Elders and the Politicians for a meeting again, to discuss the future of the state beyond material acquisition, to talk about the climatic and atmospheric conditions of this area caused by OIL SPILLAGE AND GAS FLARING which is terribly bad and dangerous, that could lead to blindness, impotence, heart attacks, all kinds of diseases of modern civilizations, degeneration, etc., that would engage all for deliberate policy for employment for indigenes,5 percent of oil production to be used to build their cities, schools, hospitals, roads, on land and on the lagoons, etc., within five years, for the people to come together to fight this menace, instead of being allowed to be done by foreign political exuberances at the expense of the pauperized majority.


It will be necessary to guide the Governor about areas that could trigger his impeachment are: -


1. Going to another illegal incubus with the El-Rufais Group who lured the Governor to make inflammatory statements against Wike for supporting the election of President Tinubu, the best any Southerner can do, in order to punish Wike, therefore threatening the polity.


2. Allowing any herdsmen to enter Rivers with cows to destroy farmland and kill their owners.


3. Allowing any non-indigene bunkers to destroy the Rivers Farmlands.


4. Denying Indigenes priority over employments


5. Any Statements that could heat the polity and threaten security of the state.


6. Failure to call a meeting of the Eiders and stakeholders to find a way Out of illegal bunkering activities and also how to avoid the bombing of such unofficial illegal bunkering activities which threatens Life and Properties in the State.


7. Undue sacking of new employees hired by the ex-administrator.


8. Going to court to fight the Emergency Rule.


The way and manner President Tinubu visited State of Emergency Rule in crisis ridden Rivers State was a political master stroke that severely damaged the Subterranean plots and moves of the neo-colonialists who were aiming to exploit the situation in Rivers to their political advantage and impede the Success story of the new Federal Government to be fully African.


Long Live South South 


Long live President Tinubu


Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria


My Love and Blessings
