Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has arrived in Asaba, Delta State, to attend a crucial meeting with fellow governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This gathering comes on the heels of President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, which led to Fubara’s suspension, along with his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and all members of the state’s House of Assembly.

The PDP, Nigeria’s main opposition party, controls 12 out of the country’s 36 states and has condemned the presidency’s actions.
