Overview
Legal luminary and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Chief Joseph Bodurin Daudu, SAN, has weighed in on the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, asserting that the President’s authority to take over the administration of the state is well within constitutional bounds.
In a detailed legal analysis, Daudu dismissed concerns about the legality of suspending the executive and legislative arms of government in an emergency-affected state, stating that no Nigerian court has ruled such actions unconstitutional.
