The South-South Governors’ Forum has formally requested the reversal of the state of emergency declared in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu. This demand was made through a statement issued on Thursday, with the forum emphasizing the need to address the situation promptly.
The declaration, which has been a point of contention, was intended to address the security and governance challenges in Rivers State.

The call for reversal is driven by concerns over governance and regional stability.
The statement was signed by Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, highlighting the unified stance of the South-South governors on this matter.
