He wrote on X: Lifting the suspension of Governor Simi Fubara is nothing to cheer about.
The suspension of the Rivers State Governor and the State House of Assembly was unconstitutional when it was done six months ago and is still illegal today.
President Tinubu had no power to suspend a democratically elected governor and state lawmakers.
The Rivers shenanigans only signpost the dictatorship of the Tinubu administration. -AA
The remarks made by Atiku came just under 24 hours after President Tinubu lifted the “state of emergency” in Rivers State.
The president directed Governor Sim Fubara, his deputy Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu, and members of the House of Assembly to “resume office on Thursday, September 18.”
