President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with a delegation of South-South monarchs, led by the Asagba of Asaba, Delta State, Obi Professor Epiphany Azinge, SAN, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The meeting comes amidst heightened tensions in the South-South region following the recent declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
The state of emergency, declared by President Tinubu, resulted in the suspension of Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara, his deputy, and the entire members of the House of Representatives for an initial six months. Additionally, the President appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, former Chief of Naval Staff, as the sole Administrator of the state.
Obi Professor Epiphany Azinge, who is the 14th Asagba of Asaba, was crowned the Obi on August 26, 2024. He is accompanied by other royal fathers, suspected to be members of the Obi-in-Council, in the meeting with President Tinubu. The discussions are expected to address the current situation in Rivers State and the broader implications for the South-South region.
