 NBA Port Harcourt Slams Rivers Sole Administrator, Alleges Constitutional Breaches


The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Port Harcourt Branch, has issued a scathing condemnation of Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, accusing him of constitutional violations and undermining democratic governance.


In a press statement signed by the eight Branch Chairmen of the Body of Chairmen Rivers State, the NBA expressed “deep concern” over the state’s governance following the imposition of a state of emergency. The lawyers’ body described the Sole Administrator’s actions, including the suspension of elected officials and recent appointments, as “unlawful, provocative, and injurious” to democratic institutions.


“The NBA unequivocally condemns the actions of the Sole Administrator, which violate the spirit and letters of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended),” the statement read.


The association warned that the continued disregard for constitutional order threatens Nigeria’s democratic experiment and risks eroding public trust in governance and the legal system. It also highlighted alleged harassment and intimidation of citizens, particularly those criticizing the emergency measures or protesting peacefully.


In a direct appeal to President Bola Tinubu, the NBA called for an immediate review and reversal of the emergency governance framework in Rivers State. The body demanded the reinstatement of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other elected officials, asserting that the people’s democratic mandate must be upheld.

“The democratic will of the people is sacrosanct and must be respected,” the NBA declared.


The association reaffirmed its commitment to the rule of law, democratic values, and peaceful conflict resolution, cautioning that legitimizing administrative overreach could set a dangerous precedent for governance nationwide.
