The Senate has approved the state of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu in Rivers State, despite opposition from key political figures.
Tinubu’s decision comes in response to the prolonged political crisis in the oil-rich state, which has led to the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
