The heightened security comes just days after the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Speaker Amaewhule and his colleagues, directing them to resume legislative activities after months of a power struggle over the control of the Assembly.
Following the apex court judgment, Fubara emphasised his administration’s respect for the rule of law and constitutional governance. He acknowledged that mistakes could occur but insisted that his government has not deliberately violated constitutional principles.
The governor noted that the Supreme Court’s pronouncements have ushered the state into a challenging period. However, he urged citizens and residents to remain calm and continue their daily activities peacefully while the government focuses on advancing good governance.
