Davido’s logistics manager, Isreal DMW, has highlighted a past state of emergency declaration, drawing a comparison to President Bola Tinubu’s recent action in Rivers State.

The Parallel Between 2004 and 2024

Amid widespread reactions to Tinubu’s suspension of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, Isreal DMW shared a 2004 front-page newspaper clipping, recalling a similar event under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The 2004 headline highlighted how Obasanjo declared a state of emergency in Plateau State following deadly religious clashes, which reportedly resulted in the killing of over 600 Muslims in Yelwa, Plateau State.

Obasanjo’s Actions in Plateau State

Plateau State Governor Joshua Dariye was dismissed for failing to control the crisis, and the state legislature was suspended, losing all of its powers.

Is Tinubu’s Decision Justified?

Isreal DMW’s post suggests that Tinubu’s decision is not unprecedented, urging Nigerians to reflect on past leadership actions.

However, the suspension of a sitting governor and deputy remains a controversial issue, with many questioning its constitutionality and potential implications for democracy.

In a fiery response, Portable accused the indigenous rapper of trying to use him for publicity to boost the show. He also took a jab at Speed Darlington’s reputation, insisting that they did not belong in the same category.

“I’m not a tout like you. I’m a hero, a superstar, a celebrity. I perform everywhere—I’ve performed in London, in America,” Portable declared.

Setting his conditions, the Zazu crooner demanded a staggering ₦20 million to perform at the concert. He also claimed that Speed Darlington had previously reached out to him on Instagram with an inflated offer of ₦500 million.

Portable concluded his remarks with a warning, emphasizing that he doesn’t associate with financially struggling individuals.
