Overview
The Federal Government has announced that funds allocated to Rivers State will be given to the state’s Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ette Ibas.
It also defended President Bola Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers, saying it was necessary to prevent a complete breakdown of order.
The government dismissed claims that former Rivers Governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, played a role in the political crisis that led to the emergency declaration.
Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, made these statements while addressing journalists at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
