The Senior Special Adviser on Media to the Rivers State Sole Administrator, Hector Igbikiowubo, has said that the gazette imposing emergency rule in the state granted the sole administrator “sweeping powers.”
Igbikiowubo warned supporters of the suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, urging them to exercise restraint in light of ongoing protests against the state’s sole administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.).
Speaking to journalists in Port Harcourt, Igbikiowubo described the continued protests by Fubara’s supporters as a test of Ibas’s resolve.
He however emphasized that the sole administrator had chosen to exercise restraint rather than use the broad powers granted to him by the gazette.
