The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project SERAP has taken President Bola Tinubu to court over what it calls the “unlawful suspension” of the Rivers State Governor, his Deputy, and House of Assembly Members.
The six-month suspension was announced while the President proclaimed a state of emergency in the state.
SERAP argued that the decision violates constitutional provisions and undermines democratic governance.
The Lawsuit, filed at the Federal High court in Abuja yesterday, was initiated by three members of Serap’s volunteers’ lawyers network (SVLN) in Rivers State—Yirabari Israel Nulog, Nengim Ikpoemugh Royal, and Gracious Eyoh-Sifumbukho.
