President Tinubu using state of emergency to intimidate governors – Amaechi

Published on March 29, 2025 at 12:12 PM

Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has accused President Bola Tinubu of using the state of emergency to intimidate governors who may oppose him in the 2027 general election.

Amaechi, speaking with an international media outlet, alleged that the crisis in Rivers State is rooted in a dispute over the sharing of the state's funds.

He questioned the legality of the state of emergency, suggesting that President Tinubu's actions are unconstitutional.

He proposed two solutions to address the issue: that People's Democratic Party (PDP) governors should challenge the suspension in court and that a national protest should be organized to stop what he termed an “illegal suspension.”;

Amaechi said, “The fight between the former governor (Wike) and the current governor (Fubara) is about sharing money. The President (Tinubu) acted outside of the constitution.”;

The former Minister of Transportation also claimed that President Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory are the masterminds behind the political crisis in Rivers State.

Amaechi emphasized that, as the constitutional head of security, President Tinubu should not shift the blame to suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
