Title: Tambuwal Unmasks the Senate’s Secret Vote—Was Rivers’ Emergency Rule Built on a Lie?
A storm is brewing in Nigeria’s political theater, and at the heart of it lies a question too dangerous to ignore—was the Senate’s approval of Rivers State’s emergency rule a grand deception?
Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, a veteran of the legislative battlefield, has pulled back the curtain on what he calls a blatant violation of the Constitution. With a voice as sharp as steel, he exposed the cracks in the Senate’s decision, declaring that the required two-thirds majority was never met.
In the shadows of a closed-door session, the fate of Rivers State was sealed—not with an open, counted vote, but through a hurried voice approval. Tambuwal, his eyes scanning the chamber that day, saw what many feared—the numbers didn’t add up.
“The Constitution is clear,” he thundered. “Seventy-three senators must stand behind such a decision. I was there—I counted. They didn’t have it.”
His revelation struck like a thunderclap, shaking the foundation of the National Assembly. If the law was broken, then what truly stands? If precedent was ignored, then who really holds the power?
Tambuwal, like a lone warrior against the tide, reminded the nation of history. Obasanjo followed the rules. Jonathan obeyed the law. So why was this different?
Now, the people are left to ask—was this emergency rule built on a foundation of deception? And if so, will Nigeria allow it to stand?
