The political crisis in Rivers State has escalated as a coalition of women’s groups took to the streets of Port Harcourt in support of an emergency rule in the oil-rich state. Dressed in white, the women marched from the Garrison Flyover to Isaac Boro Park, carrying placards with messages like “State of Emergency is Constitutional” and “We Don’t Want Fubara.” The protest was led by former Rivers Commissioner for Social Welfare, Ifeyinwa Aguma, a known ally of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The demonstrators voiced their support for Ibok-Ette Ibas, appointed by President Bola Tinubu as the state’s administrator, urging him to sustain his efforts in restoring order. Monday’s demonstration follows a similar protest last week by women backing suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, highlighting deepening divisions amid the ongoing political turmoil.
