Alright, so governor fubara got suspended because there was this massive political crisis in Rivers State. Basically, a bunch of lawmakers switched political parties and there was a crazy power struggle, especially with his old mentor, Wike. People said things were about to get super chaotic—almost like anarchy—and President Tinubu stepped in and declared a 'state of emergency.'
From what I've read, when a place is under 'state of emergency,' regular government stuff gets paused and the federal guys come in and basically take control to stop things from getting worse. Fubara and the state lawmakers all got suspended for six months! If you live there, it means regular things like passing new laws or fixing community problems kinda get stuck, and people worry a lot about what comes next.
Honestly, I can't imagine how stressful it’d be—one day your governor's fighting for your rights, the next he's not even in office. But Fubara himself said everyone should thank President Tinubu for stepping in, because apparently it did avoid something way worse. Crazy times for sure.
