President Bola Tinubu recently inaugurated Vice Admiral Ibok-Étè Ibas (retd.) as the sole administrator of Rivers State. The ceremony took place at the State House in Abuja, witnessed by key officials. Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, citing political instability and security threats as primary reasons. The appointment of Ibas aims to oversee the state’s affairs until stability is restored. The power struggle between Governor Fubara and his predecessor has led to governance paralysis in the state. Tinubu’s decision to suspend key officials and appoint Ibas as the sole administrator reflects the government’s effort to address the crisis in Rivers State.
