A Chieftain of the Labour Party, Pat Utomi, has said the people of Rivers State have a duty and a right to resist anybody who they did not vote for stepping into Government house and running their affairs.
Utomi said this after President Bola Tinubu handed a six-month suspension to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Tinubu then announced Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd) as the administration of the state until the suspension expires.
Reacting, Utomi said, “Such dictated takeover would be either banditry or a coup d’etat on the Rivers people.
“What is tragic is that those doing all these anti-people things are on video and press report records lampooning similar decisions in the past.”
