‘Political Manipulation’, Atiku Faults Tinubu Over Rivers Emergency Rule 

Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, has condemned the state of emergency in Rivers state as a serious assault on democracy.

The former vice president responded on his verified Facebook page, blaming the declaration as being deceptive and made in bad faith.

According to him, Bola Tinubu, the president of Rivers State, has no way of avoiding responsibility for the chaos his administration has caused or failed to cause.

He added that the President should assume full responsibility for damage to the state’s infrastructure rather than declare state of emergency on the residents of Rivers State.

According to Akiku, the Rivers State declaration of a state of emergency resembles political scheming and absolute bad faith.

Bola Tinubu has played a vested partisan role in the political unrest that is engulfing Rivers, according to those who are monitoring the unfolding crisis. His blatant inaction, or his deliberate carelessness, is nothing short of scandalous.

Beyond the political plot in the rivers, the blatant security breaches that led to the state’s president’s desk’s condemnable destruction of the nation’s infrastructure.

Tinubu is unable to accept blame for the chaos that his administration has caused or failed to cause.

Under the leadership of Tinubu, the Niger Delta was reintroduced into a violent era of unrest and instability, undoing the hard-won peace that was established by late President Umaru Yar’Adua. In order to pursue egotistical political calculations, years of progress have been recklessly erased.
