BREAKING: AGF Lateef Fagbemi justifies President Tinubu’s state of emergency declaration in Rivers State

Lateef Fagbemi, Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, disclosed this while briefing journalists at the State House after a meeting with President Tinubu in Abuja on Wednesday.

Lateef Fagbemi said’ “I think the President has acted timeously. He has given opportunity to all the parties involved to make amends. Before then, he had assembled them, he had tried to mediate.”

Fagbemi dismissed allegations that Wike was favoured in the decision, stating, “was Wike the one that asked the State Assembly to be demolished? I don’t see the hand of the Minister of the FCT in what happened.”

He also encouraged those dissatisfied with the President’s decision to pursue remedies through the National Assembly.

“If the National Assembly feels what the President did was not okay, he will not have two-thirds from the National Assembly. We are expecting that within 48 hours something will come out,” he stated.
