Just in : Senate Approves Emergency Rule In Rivers State
The senate has approved the request of President Bola Tinubu for emergency rule in Rivers state.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio read the president’s letter during Thursday’s plenary before lawmakers went into a closed door session.
After the session, Akpabio put the matter to a voice vote, with lawmakers overwhelmingly supporting the request.
Announcing the decision, Akpabio said the senate had exercised its powers under section 305(2) of the constitution to approve the president’s proclamation.
It is our hope that this declaration by the president will bring peace and resolve all the impasse in Rivers State,” he said.
The senate also called on Tinubu to set up a committee of “eminent Nigerians” to mediate between the rival factions driving the crisis.
Lawmakers adopted the resolution before adjourning for 30 minutes.
