The Federal Government has officially declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, as documented in the Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette No. 47, dated March 18, 2025.

In the proclamation titled State of Emergency (Rivers State) Proclamation, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said he has invoked his constitutional powers under Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution to suspend the state’s elected leadership.

This includes the immediate removal of the Governor, Deputy Governor, and all members of the State House of Assembly.

The appointment of Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd.) as the Administrator of Rivers State for the duration of the emergency was also documented in the gazette.

According to the official document, the federal government justified its decision by citing an “imminent breakdown of public order and security.” It warned that failure to act could lead to “massive loss of lives and property,” making the intervention necessary to restore stability in the state.
