The recent return to Port Harcourt of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and the quiet stealing away of the sole administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), are two poignant dents on the nation’s democracy. How the country progresses from here will undoubtedly define the character of the democracy Nigeria practises.
Remarkably, some have praised President Bola Tinubu for not extending the suspension of the governor and the democratic structures in Rivers State beyond the six months he had initially proclaimed. Many opposition voices, however, insist that the president erred in the first instance by unilaterally removing an elected governor from office.
