In an unprecedented turn of events, the newly appointed Administrator of Rivers State, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, has just arrived at the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock for a high-stakes meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This development follows President Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, which led to the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and all state lawmakers. The drastic measure was taken in response to escalating political turmoil and recent acts of pipeline vandalism that have threatened national stability.
