Former Oyo State governor, Rashidi Ladoja, has stated that President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of emergency rule in Rivers State has contributed to restoring peace in the region, okay.ng reports.

Ladoja’s comments follow President Tinubu’s March 18, 2025, declaration of emergency rule, which suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Rivers State House of Assembly, amidst an ongoing political crisis with ex-governor Nyesom Wike. This decision has sparked controversy, with critics alleging constitutional breaches.

Speaking to journalists in Ibadan after Eid-el-Fitr prayers, Ladoja expressed his support for the emergency rule, saying, “The emergency rule declared by the President in Rivers is a welcomed development if that is what will restore peace back to the state.”

He urged Fubara and Wike to reconcile their differences for the sake of the state, and noted that the legal challenges to the emergency rule would be quickly resolved by the courts. “Some of them have approached the court; even the PDP governors had gone to the Supreme Court. The judgment will be faster. So, whatever the court says will bind both parties,” Ladoja added.
