The Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland Senator Rashidi Ladoja has said declaration of emergency rule by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Rivers State was in order and not a threat to democracy.
Ladoja stated with the declaration of State of Emergency by Tinubu, there is now relative peace in the State.
There have been political crises in Rivers State between suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara and some lawmakers said to be loyalists to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.
Speaking with journalists at his Bodija residence, Ladoja, stated that Tinubu wouldn’t have declared emergency Rule in Rivers if there was no need for it.
According to him, the Emergency Rule is a welcome development to restore peace in the State.
He urged Fubara and former Governor Wike to resolve their differences if their intention is to serve the State.
