The Peoples Democratic Party’s state governors have instructed their Attorney Generals to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, saying that Section 305(3) of the Constitution is subject to judicial interpretation.

After their Zoom meeting on Wednesday, the PDP Governors, in a communiqué signed by the Forum’s Chairman and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, made available to journalists on Saturday expressed their solidarity with Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the people of Rivers State during.

Rivers State has faced political turmoil for nearly two years, with former Governor Nyesom Wike and his successor, Sim Fubara, competing for power, resulting in a governance impasse.

In response, Tinubu declared a state of emergency in the state on Tuesday evening.

He called for order and suspended Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the state assembly for six months.
