“Emergency rule is constitutional,” “Rivers women voted for you, but you made us your slaves,” “Look into Fubara’s bloated Contracts award,” “Say no to dictatorship,” and “Rivers women need peace in our state” were some of the signs they displayed.

Former Social Welfare Commissioner Inime Aguma, a supporter of Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, led the demonstrators.

As the tension between Fubara and Wike grew, Aguma was among the cabinet members who quit their positions.

The demonstrators asserted that Rivers’ state of emergency had restored peace and tranquility to the region.
However, other locals have called the demonstrators a “disgrace” to women and disgraceful.

Emma Amadi, a local, expressed regret that demonstrations had turned into an occupation in Rivers State, where women are paid N5,000 to demonstrate in the streets about topics they have little knowledge of.

“How did we arrive at this point?” he asked.

“In Rivers State, protest is progressively turning into an occupation.”

It was regrettable, according to another resident, that ladies were compromising their morals.

“I’ll chase my mother back if I see her with these women, but she can’t be seen doing that.” “Women without shame,” he remarked.
