A protest supporting state of emergency in Rivers has started in Port Harcourt.
Newsone Nigeria reports that on Monday, April 14, 2025, a large number of women in Rivers State staged a rally in Port Harcourt, the state capital, to express support for the declaration of a state of emergency.
This online news platform understands that the protest supporting state of emergency in Rivers is coming barely four days after supporters of the suspended governor staged a protest demanding the reinstatement of the state leader.
According to the pro-emergency rule protesters, Rivers State is in need of peace and not the embattled governor, Sim Fubara, countering the previous rally.
The women carried placards that read: “State of Emergency Is Constitutional,” “No Tribal War in Rivers State, No More Fubara,” “We Need Peace, Not Fubara,” among others.
Hon. Gladys Nweke, one of the organisers of the rally and former Vice Chairman of Etche Local Government Area of the state, who spoke to journalists, said: “What we are doing here is a solidarity march in support of the state of emergency in Rivers State.
