Former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for declaring state of emergency in River State.

Tinubu’s action was triggered by the political crisis that has been rocking the state for months.

Fani-Kayode in a statement on his verified Facebook handle said “When children refuse to stop fighting, father must step in”, applauding Tinubu’s declaration in the state.

“The declaration of a state of emergency by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Rivers state is a bold and commendable move that will return sanity to the peace and sanity of the state. I also believe this will go a long way to bringing all the major players in the conflict back to their senses. When children refuse to stop fighting the father must step in lest they burn the house down”.

Few minutes ago, Tinubu suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and all 27 elected members of the State House of Assembly for an initial period of six months.

In his words: “By this declaration, the Governor of Rivers State, Mr Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Mrs Ngozi Odu and all elected members of the House of Assembly of Rivers State are hereby suspended for an initial period of six months”.

Tinubu immediately appointed Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd) as Administrator to take charge of the affairs of the state in the interest of the good people of Rivers State.
