Legal expert Liborous Oshoma appeared on Channels Television's Politics Today program Wednesday evening. He argued that Nigerian politicians failed to gain wisdom from Rivers State's emergency rule experience. The lawyer made these remarks following President Tinubu's decision to end the state's suspended democratic governance. Oshoma criticized political figures for their lack of growth after witnessing democratic institutions temporarily removed. He specifically highlighted how a former governor maintains simultaneous connections with both major political parties.

President Tinubu had earlier suspended Governor Fubara and his administration on March 18th through constitutional powers. Vice-Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas received appointment as interim administrator for six months due to legislative paralysis. The legal practitioner questioned the fairness of targeting a PDP-elected official while suggesting different treatment for APC-controlled states. Oshoma proposed that federal security forces could restore order without dismantling elected governments. He emphasized that emergency declarations should preserve democratic structures rather than eliminate them entirely.
