Unable to bear the suffocating chaos any longer, Ibinabo Fiberesima bared her mind, her voice raw with desperation as she cried out to the press.
Rivers State is in turmoil, unrecognizable in the eyes of Nollywood actress Ibinabo Fiberesima, who stood in defiance against the overwhelming military presence suffocating her homeland.
Just hours after President Bola Tinubu’s dramatic declaration of a state of emergency, the political landscape shifted with unrelenting force, Governor Siminalayi Fubara was suspended, and retired Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas was named the new administrator.
Soldiers wasted no time; they stormed the Rivers Government House, their presence echoing through Port Harcourt as fear and uncertainty gripped the city.
Across the metropolis, residents abandoned the streets, motorists rushed home, and hushed conversations filled the air as people wrestled with the weight of this seismic decision.
Amid the tension, Ibinabo Fiberesima faced the press, her voice laced with anguish. The sight of soldiers swarming Rivers State was too much to bear.
She denounced the sudden military occupation, questioned why this was happening now just as the state was beginning to find its footing under Fubara’s leadership.
With fire in her words, she condemned the state of emergency as unjust, a disruption to the fragile peace the people had fought to restore. Other women stood with her, their voices rising in agreement.
