Women filled the streets of Port Harcourt, asking for Governor Fubara to return. A video spread online showing them walking toward Government House carrying signs with messages like "Bring back Fubara" and "Is the law different for Rivers State?" The women also held placards saying, "God of justice, arise for Rivers State," "Save our democracy," and "End injustice and bring back our governor."
As mothers and wives, these protesters asked President Tinubu to restore all democratic institutions to Rivers State, including their elected governor. They demanded an end to what they called fake military rule hidden behind a state of emergency label. President Tinubu had earlier suspended Governor Fubara for six months after declaring a State of Emergency in Rivers in March. The suspension affected not just the governor but also his deputy and every member of the House of Assembly.
