During a national address, Tinubu clarified that the judiciary in Rivers State remains unaffected and will continue to operate as mandated by the Constitution. He also noted that while the administrator cannot enact new laws, he is permitted to draft regulations necessary for governance, subject to approval by the Federal Executive Council and promulgation by the President.


Following his swearing-in, Ibas has returned to Port Harcourt to officially assume his new role.
