Pdp Bot Rejects, Demands Reversal Of Rivers Emergency Rule

The Board of Trustees of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has rejected President Ahmed Bola Tinubus emergency rule in Rivers State.

This is as the BoT faulted the National Assembly for ratifying the Presidents action via a mere voice vote instead of the constitutional two-thirds majority.

The body demanded the immediate reversal of the emergence rule, which it said is a gross violation of the Nigerian Constitution.

Chairman of the PDP BoT and former Senate President, Senator Adolphus Wabara, in a Sunday statement on behalf of the body, said the action of Mr President could only be imagined during a military era.
