A group of women organizing under the name Rivers Women United for Sim, or RWUS, called for the reinstatement of suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the restoration of peace in Rivers State on Thursday in Port Harcourt.
The women urged President Bola Tinubu to step in and resolve the ongoing political crisis, describing Rivers as a peaceful state.
The group turned out in force and demanded the reinstatement of all suspended elected officials, arguing that Fubara had done nothing wrong to warrant his suspension.
Women have been protesting and rallying for the reinstatement of Fubara since his suspension in March.
On April 11, a crowd of women flooded the Aba road area of Port Harcourt, demanding the reinstatement of Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
The protest, which started along the major road, and advanced to the Rivers State Government House, featured placards with bold inscriptions such as “Bring back Fubara”, “Save our democracy”, “Is the law different for Rivers State?”, and “God of justice, arise for Rivers State”.
The women, while chanting songs of solidarity, described themselves as mothers and wives, appealing directly to Tinubu to lift the suspension on the governor and reinstate all democratic institutions in the state.
