The Senate on Thursday has approved the declaration of a six -month state of emergence in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.

The state of emergency was declared on Tuesday by Tinubu to restore peace to checkmate the lingering political crisis between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and members of the state house of assembly.

The Senate approved the state of emergency during a closed-door session.

The Senators invoked Section 305(2) of the 1999 Constitution, which grants the President authority to impose emergency rule in cases of severe governance breakdown.

However, the Senators, mandated President Bola Tinubu to review the state of emergency periodically and consider its termination within six months.
Aside approving the emergency rule, the Senate resolved to invoke Section 11(4) of the Constitution, allowing the National Assembly to assume legislative functions for Rivers State during the suspension of its elected officials.
