Rivers ADC Reveals 'Only Benefit' from Tinubu Govt: Six Months of State of Emergency
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has claimed that the only positive impact the state has seen from President Bola Tinubu's administration is the six-month state of emergency imposed on the region.
Speaking to DAILY POST, Rivers ADC Publicity Secretary, Chizy Enyi, said that Tinubu has not visited the state since becoming President in 2023.
"Yesterday, President Bola Tinubu was in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, for a campaign rally ahead of the January 16 election," Enyi said.
"Since Tinubu became President, he has not visited Rivers State. Not even through a representative," Enyi added.
"The only thing everybody can attest that he did for us is to remain in Abuja and declare a state of emergency, which made Rivers people lose six months of democratic rule," Enyi stated.
The state of emergency was declared in Rivers State in May 2024, suspending democratic governance for six months.
"We cannot forget that we have lost six months of democratic rule," Enyi emphasized.
