Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will lead a coalition of political leaders in a press conference today in Abuja to address the recent state of emergency declared in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.
The event, scheduled for 10:00 AM at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, comes amid rising tensions and widespread criticism of the federal government’s decision. Atiku, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is expected to speak on the implications of the emergency declaration and the coalition’s stance on the matter.
The declaration has sparked political debates, with opposition figures and stakeholders questioning its necessity and potential impact on governance in the state.
