    The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, has frowned at the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, describing it an unconstitutional overreach and a grave violation of Nigeria’s democratic principles.

    This was contained in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, on Wednesday.

    Recall that President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday night declared a state of emergency in Rivers state.

    The president also suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his Deputy, and the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

    PPR said the decision did not only undermine the democratic framework of Nigeria as a nation but also constitutes a serious breach of the 1999 Constitution, which serves as the bedrock of Nigeria’s governance.

    According to the PRP, Tinubu’s actions reflect a dangerous and unconstitutional overreach of executive power.

    It said that in accordance with Section 305 of the Nigerian Constitution, the President may declare a state of emergency under specific and stringent conditions, however, the provision does not grant the authority to unilaterally suspend or remove elected state officials.

    The party described the move as a direct affront to the principles of democracy and the rule of law, which have been painstakingly established in the nation.

    PRP called on the National Assembly to uphold its constitutional duty by categorically rejecting what it described as an unconstitutional action, adding that it was imperative that the parliament acts decisively to reaffirm the principles of democratic governance and the rule of law.

    The party, therefore, demanded immediate reinstatement of Governor Fubara, his Deputy, and the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

    It also asked for a comprehensive review of the President’s actions to ensure accountability and adherence to the Constitution and a commitment from the National Assembly to safeguard the democratic process by investigating and nullifying this illegal suspension.
