Port Harcourt, Nigeria – Less than three hours after President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, political alignments began to take shape as Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, met with Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, the newly appointed sole administrator of the state.
The meeting, which took place yesterday, has sparked speculation about new power dynamics in Rivers under the emergency rule. While details remain undisclosed, sources suggest discussions centered on security, governance, and stability in the wake of the political crisis that led to the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration.
Key Questions:
Is this a sign of new political alliances forming in Rivers State?
What role will Asari Dokubo play under the new administration?
How will this realignment impact the region’s stability and federal government control?
As the emergency rule takes effect, the coming days will reveal how key Niger Delta figures position themselves in the unfolding political landscape.
