    Rivers Crisis: APC Says Fubara Destroyed Democracy In The State

    The All Progressives Congress (APC) has blamed Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, for the declaration of a state of emergency in the state.

    On Tuesday night, Tinubu made the proclamation following the prolonged political crisis in the south-south state.

    Felix Morka, the APC national publicity secretary, in a statement late Tuesday, said “Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the author of the extreme events that have unfolded in Rivers state”.

    “When he brazenly demolished the Rivers State House of Assembly, Fubara destroyed the very foundation of democracy in the state,” the statement reads.

    “When he governed the state without a legislature, Fubara ended government in the state.

    “When he expended state funds without valid legislative appropriation, Fubara stripped himself of all constitutional protections of the office of Governor.”

    The party said there cannot be a governor without a legislature and the judiciary.

    The statement added that all three arms of government, although separate in their constitutional powers, must co-exist to have a government known to the constitution of Nigeria.

    “As the Supreme Court confirmed, there was no government in the state and there had not been a government since Fubara destroyed the state legislature. By his reckless actions, Fubara asked for and set the stage for this outcome,” Morka said.

    “The declaration of a state of emergency by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a necessary, constitutionally-backed measure to protect lives and property, and extend governance to the good people of Rivers state.

    “The safety and well being of the people is paramount at this time, and must trump all political considerations.

    “Again, President Tinubu has demonstrated courage and leadership in forestalling a looming breakdown of law and order in the state.”
