The Presidency has dismissed the African Democratic Congress, ADC, touch upon Rivers State as nothing greater than nuisance politics, exposing the pedantry and verbosity of their current media outings.
The Particular Adviser on Media and Communication to President Bola Tinubu, Sunday Dare stated the Nigerian structure is obvious, “underneath Part 305, that the President has the ability, and the responsibility, to behave when regulation and order are underneath grave risk.”
Reacting to ADC’s declare of autocracy and manipulation in Rivers State, Dare stated the president exercised his powers by invoking the provisions of part 305 of the 1999 Structure of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) to forestall bloodshed and restore governance in Rivers State.
A terse assertion by Dare stated: “ADC’s claims of “autocracy” and “manipulation” collapse underneath easy reality. The emergency framework is constitutional, not whimsical.
“Rivers officers had been by no means decreased to “appointees” they had been shielded from chaos and reinstated as soon as order returned. To accuse the President of undermining federalism is laughable; as a former Governor, no Nigerian alive presently, has fought tougher for state autonomy than Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Defending Rivers is defending Nigeria.
“What ADC gives Nigerians is late pontification and empty noise. What the President delivered is stability, the return of democratic establishments, and peace within the Rivers State.
“Nigerians can see the distinction: President Tinubu acted proper. That’s what posterity will keep in mind him for.@officialABAT @OfficialAPCNg#Riversemergency”
