The lawmaker representing Bayelsa West district, Senator Seriake Dickson, has faulted President Bola Tinubu’s silence on the emergency rule in Rivers State in his address to a joint session of the National Assembly.

Reflecting on the symbolic importance of the June 12 Democracy Day, Dickson said he expected Tinubu to use the occasion to restore democratic rule in Rivers State.
Addressing journalists after the session, the senator regretted that the president missed a golden opportunity to strengthen democracy by skipping Rivers State in his address. He accused the president of pandering to certain political interests, putting the country’s broader democratic pursuit at risk.

President Tinubu had, on March 18, declared emergency rule in Rivers State, sacking an elected governor and members of the state’s assembly for six months.
