Thousands of women from across Rivers State took to the streets of Port Harcourt on Thursday in a massive protest demanding the immediate reinstatement of suspended Governor Siminialayi Fubara.
Chanting powerful slogans like “Pharaoh, let my people go!” and “Bring back Fubara!”, the demonstrators decried what they described as a creeping state of emergency and the erosion of democratic governance in the oil-rich state.
The protest, which shut down major roads in the capital city, was a dramatic show of civil resistance as women dressed in traditional attire marched peacefully, holding placards and singing solidarity songs. Many of them expressed deep concern over what they called political interference and the destabilization of democratic structures in the state.
“This is not just about Fubara,” said one protester. “This is about protecting our votes and our voices. We are tired of the oppression. Democracy must be respected!”
The women’s march comes in the wake of ongoing political tensions in Rivers State, where Governor Fubara’s suspension has sparked widespread outrage and fears of a power grab. Though federal authorities have yet to formally declare a state of emergency, the protesters say the political atmosphere in the state feels increasingly militarized and undemocratic.
Observers say the protest could mark a turning point in the political crisis, as grassroots pressure mounts on both state and federal actors to restore order and democratic leadership.
As of press time, there has been no official response from the Presidency or the Rivers State government regarding the women’s demands.
