Nigerian actress Hilda Dakubo has expressed her outrage over President Tinubu's recent decision to suspend the governor of Rivers State and declare a state of emergency.
Taking to Instagram on March 18, 2025, Dakubo slammed the president's announcement, calling it a ploy to "Capture the economic soul of Rivers State."
State of emergency because for two years we have had peace! State of emergency because you want to capture the economic soul of Rivers state! State of emergency because of one man? Shameless! Perhaps Mr President should say he wants to annexed Rivers state!
In a nationwide broadcast earlier that evening, Tinubu announced the six-month suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
