Some women in Rivers state today April 16 staged a protest against the Emergency rule in the state.
The women who said to be members of the Rivers Women Unite Prayer Group, kicked against the suspension of Siminalayi Fubara as governor. The women thronged major streets in Port Harcourt to protest against the imposition of emergency rule in Rivers state and demanded the return of Fubara to office.
The protesters wore red attires and held placards bearing inscriptions like ‘We have conscience’, Bring Back Governor Fubara’, ‘We are gagged’, ‘Rivers state economy suffers under Ibas’, ‘NBA have conscience’, among others.
Monday’s protest is coming on the heels of last week’s women’s demonstration in favour of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who was suspended by Tinubu owing to the political crisis in the state.
