Main opposition Peoples Democratic Party has demanded an apology from President Bola Tinubu for imposing the just-ended six-month state of emergency on Rivers.
PDP Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, stated this, asking President Tinubu to apologise for suspending Governor Siminilayi Fubara.
Osadolor accused Tinubu of exceeding his constitutional powers by declaring emergency rule in Rivers State.
The PDP chieftain said this on Wednesday in Abuja while reacting to the President’s decision.
He said President Tinubu’s action undermined the separation of powers and set a dangerous precedent for Nigeria’s democracy.
Osadolor said, “Yes, I think the President is overreaching when I read the last paragraph of his speech, where he spoke to governors as if he were a headmaster in a classroom.
“He should apologise. I felt he should understand fully well that there is a clear division of powers.”
