Amadi said the state of emergency was declared for some needed change including a fresh LG election in compliance with the Supreme Court's judgement.
The public affair analyst stated this during an exclusive chat with Legit.ng on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
The lawyer said the National Assembly constituted a committee that oversaw the activities of the Sole Administrator as required by the Constitution of Nigeria.
“In order to restore normalcy, within the short 6 months period of the administrator, there has to be some needed change, which part of it was to carry out a fresh LGA Council election in compliance with the Supreme Court's judgement.
“The election was held under the supervision of the National Assembly Committee constituted to oversee the activities of the Sole Administrator and can not be said to be unconstitutional. It flows also from the earlier date as already announced by the then RSIEC Chairman.”
3 things Fubara should do when he returns
Amadi said Fubara should focus on consolidating on projects and delivering his campaign promises to Rivers state people.
He warned Fubara against politicking but rather concentrate on good governance for the development of the south south state.
“The focus of Governor Fubara as soon as he returns to office on the 18 September is to consolidate on his projects, deliver his campaign promises to the people of Rivers State.
“He should resist every temptation of politicking but rather deliver all the pending projects and activities he began and leave a clean slate for himself.”
