RIVERS STATE CRISIS: STATE OF EMERGENCY:

The President in his address to the Nation today declared State of Emergency in Rivers State. I was Shocked on hearing this cos I’m currently in Rivers State and there’s not been any disruptions of the General Peace and Governance, No Wars or Violent crisis ongoing!.
So why then should there be State of emergency and the President Suspending the Governor and the House of Assembly Members who are also all elected to serve.

When I first heard this news I added an update to @Cossyblacks thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5533855.0  but I opened this thread to discuss the ABUSE of our Laws and Constitution.

I got talking with my friend who is a practicing lawyer and he had this to say based on the Law and Constitution;-

1. President has powers to declare state of emergency. S. 305(1)

2.State of emergency doesn't extend to taking over administration of the state, by S. 305 of the constitution.

3.The crisis in Rivers State has not led to the situation provided in S. 305(3) of the constitution

4.Suspending Governors and Lawmakers in a state and appointing a sole administrator is unconstitutional.

In the case of - A.G. Plateau State v. Goni (2007) 16 NWLR (Pt. 1055) 1 Court said:
1. A state of emergency does not justify the removal of elected officials.
2. The court stated further that the President lacks the power to remove a governor or dissolve a state assembly.

So How come now we are hearing this from the President, from where is he getting his Authority?
Where are all the National Law makers, SAN, and Chief Judges and the likes who are supposed to uphold our Constitution?.
Why are they silent?
Are they trying to get Rivers State under their thumb by any means Necessary?.
What is this MESS they’re about to create in Rivers State and Nigeria?.

The Country has become a Colossal Joke since the APC took over now it’s WORSE
