TheNigeriaLawyer editorial will refer to Sole Administrator Ibok-Ete Ibas as ‘Unconstitutional’ until the Tinubu administration reverses its unconstitutional assault on Nigeria’s democracy by suspending elected officials, including the Governor, Deputy Governor, and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The House of Representatives has warned the Unconstitutional Rivers State Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas (retd.), against making any laws in the state, stating that he has no constitutional power to do so.

This warning comes in light of the administrator’s plan to introduce a new budget, following the declaration of a state of emergency in the state in March.

In an interview with Punch, the deputy spokesman for the House, Philip Agbese, said the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, is consulting with the leadership of the House to set up a committee to monitor Admiral Ibas’ actions.

“The Sole Administrator does not have the authority to carry out the National Assembly’s function of making laws under the current circumstances. The Speaker is consulting with the leadership to establish a committee to oversee the administrator’s activities and ensure that the interests of Rivers State are represented.

“We assume that the President has been informed of our resolution regarding the administrator’s appointment and mandate. Should the administrator exceed his authority, the House will take necessary actions, including the possibility of a vote of no confidence, to ensure accountability and adherence to the rule of law.”

Last week, Admiral Ibas announced plans to prepare a new budget for the running of the state over the next six months. This move has been widely condemned by many, who argue that he lacks the authority to do so.
