It would be recalled that in March, President Bola Tinubu suspended Governor Fubara, his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, and members of the State House of Assembly following his declaration of a state of emergency in the state.

The President justified the decision by pointing to attacks on oil pipelines carried out by militant groups amid the escalating conflict between the Governor and 27 lawmakers.
