Nigerian rapper Falz has waded into the ongoing Rivers crisis, sharing his opinion after President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency and suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Taking to his official X page, Falz stated that there is no law that allows a president to suspend a governor.

The ‘La Fete’ crooner said as someone who is elected into office, a governor can only be removed by impeachment.

Falz also questioned the rationale behind Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency, wondering if Rivers is at war.

“Rivers State, there is ABSOLUTELY NO LAW that allows a president to SUSPEND a governor.

“A Governor is elected into office and may only be removed by impeachment. Also, is Rivers state at war?

“Is there “actual breakdown of public order”? Is there a threat to the existence of the federation?”, the post reads.
