Rivers Crisis: Coalition Backs Call for Ibas’ Removal Over Alleged Abuse of Office
A coalition of civil society groups under the Civic Room for Rule of Law has backed calls for the immediate sack of Rivers State Sole Administrator, Ibok-ete Ibas, over alleged constitutional violations.
The group, in a statement by its president Maxwell Egboh, accused Ibas of defying presidential directives and sacking appointees of Governor Siminalayi Fubara without due process.
Human rights lawyer Femi Falana, SAN, had earlier urged the Federal Government to remove Ibas, citing breaches of the official Gazette which limits his powers to presidential regulations.
The coalition warned that Ibas’ actions have created tension and uncertainty, and urged President Tinubu to act swiftly. They also praised the House of Representatives’ Ad-Hoc Committee for probing the administrator’s conduct.
