 SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS PRESIDENT'S POWER TO DECLARE EMERGENCY RULE The  supreme court has affirmed the president's constitutional authority to declare a state of emergency in a state threatened by breakdown of law and order, including the power to temporarily suspend elected officials as an extraordinary measure to restore stability. The seven-man panel of justices of the apex court gave the order in a 6 to 1 split decision on a suit filed by Adamawa state and 10 others challenging president Bola Tinubu's march 18, 2025 declaration of emergency rule in Rivers state.  The declaration had led to the six-month suspension of the state's governor, deputy governor, and members of the house of assembly amid prolonged political crisis and security concerns.

Damagum Must Go for PDP to Heal-Ologbondiyan


Kola Ologbondiyan, former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called for the resignation of the party’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, as a solution to the ongoing crisis within the party. In an interview with *Saturday PUNCH*, Ologbondiyan argued that Damagum stepping down would enable much-needed reforms and stabilize the party. He emphasized that for genuine reconciliation to occur, a new chairman from the North-Central zone, which was sidelined after Iyorchia Ayu’s suspension, should take over.


Ologbondiyan also echoed concerns from several PDP members, including 60 party members from the House of Representatives, who accused Damagum of being too close to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and called for his resignation. He stressed that Damagum’s return to his original role as Deputy National Chairman (North) would resolve many of the party’s internal conflicts and ensure the party remains a strong opposition force.


He added, “There is no debating the fact that for the PDP to achieve its purpose, the course of justice must be pursued and must be followed.” Ologbondiyan believes that had Damagum reverted to his original office and allowed a substantive chairman from the North-Central zone to emerge, many of the party's current issues would have been resolved.
