A former Commissioner for Information in Rivers State, Ibim Semenitari, has expressed delight at the suspension of the state of emergency in the state.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Semenitari said: “It’s a breath of fresh air. As a Rivers State daughter, it feels good to have my state back.
“It is gratifying. I think there’s relief all over Rivers State, the people are happy. The people are glad that things are hopefully getting back to normal.
“It didn’t feel good being the only state in the entire federation that didn’t have its democratically elected governor for six months and I’m sure that most Rivers people feel the same way.”
DAILY POST reports that President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday lifted the state of emergency imposed on Rivers on March 18.
