Human rights activist Annkio Briggs has expressed that not all residents of Rivers State are thankful to President Bola Tinubu. This statement was made during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics program, where she discussed the recent suspension of the state of emergency imposed on Rivers State for six months.

When asked to compare her level of gratitude to that of Governor Fubara, Briggs stated that she was not as thankful to the president. She noted that President Tinubu should be aware that not everyone in Rivers State is eternally grateful to him. Briggs, a stakeholder and elder in the state, expressed feelings of disappointment towards the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the party’s failure to address issues promptly.

Briggs emphasized that since 1999, Rivers State has consistently voted for the PDP, but the party’s inaction has led to its current situation. Her comments come after the suspension of the state of emergency, which was initially imposed for a period of six months. The development has sparked varied reactions from stakeholders and residents in the state.

The suspension of the state of emergency has significant implications for the political landscape of Rivers State. The move is expected to have far-reaching consequences, particularly in the lead-up to future elections. As the situation continues to unfold, residents and stakeholders alike are watching with keen interest to see how the state will move forward.

In the context of Nigerian politics, the actions of President Tinubu and the reactions of stakeholders like Annkio Briggs are crucial in shaping the country’s democratic landscape. The ongoing developments in Rivers State serve as a reminder of the complex dynamics at play in Nigerian politics, where the actions of leaders can have lasting impacts on the lives of citizens.
