Hundreds of women in Rivers State took to the streets on Friday to protest the recent declaration of a state of emergency in the state, calling it a politically motivated move designed to suppress democracy.
Led by activist Nancy Chidi Nwankwo, the women denounced the emergency rule as unjustified, insisting that the situation in Rivers does not warrant such drastic measures or pose any real threat to national security.
The protesters demanded the immediate reinstatement of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the full restoration of democratic institutions in the state. They accused the federal government of using the state of emergency as a guise to impose military rule and undermine the will of the people.
Describing the action as a “grave injustice,” the women called on prominent Nigerians — including former presidents, diplomats, and civil society leaders — to intervene and prevail on President Bola Tinubu to reverse the decision.
The group reaffirmed their commitment to peaceful protest and vowed to continue standing up for democracy, justice, and the right to self-determination.
