Section 305 of the 1999 constitution gives the president the power to declare state of Emergency when there is a clear and present danger of an actual breakdown of public order and public safety in the Federation or any part thereof requiring extraordinary measures to avert such danger;
The major danger here is the threat to blow Oil pipeline which is not something the government can joke with
The Governor is having face off with the members of the house of assembly
And as such, after declaring state of emergency,.
The president will appoint an administrator to take over the affairs of the state for the period of six months or less depending on the situation at hand
And if there will be an extension beyond six months, the National Assembly will be needed to grant such requests
During the period of state of emergency
It is assumed that the president is now the one directing the affairs of the state and he appoints someone to represent him directly
And when the president is the one directing the affairs of the state for some period of time
It means suspension indirectly for the Governor and his deputy with the members of the house of assembly cos they can’t do anything within that period and they are powerless while the president is now directly in charge over the affairs of the state.
So, either tinubu mention it or not
We all know, it’s automatic suspension for the Government of the state as they are not capable to handle the situation at hand for the moment.
Although, the Pr£sident doesn’t not the constitution power to sack or suspend the Governor and his cabinet but during state of emergency, it’s perceived to be an indirect suspension for the Governor and his cabinet for the presidency to take over the affiars of the state for that period.
And if wayo wan enter the game, na so dem to continue to dey get more additional six months approval from the National Assembly till the Governor Tenure go complete and him no go fit do anything again.
That’s one scope to keep the Governor suspended till the end of his tenure
Tinubu is not the first president to declare state of Emergency
It happened under president olusegun obasanjo whete he declare SOE for plateau and Ekiti state 2004 and 2006 respectively
2013, President Jonathan did the same thing in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states respectively
No president is as powerful by constitution as Nigeria president in the whole world under democracy rule
The powers given to the Nigerian president in the constitution are much
As the saying Goes
After GOD, Na Government ooooo
Although
Tinubu was absolutely wrong to declare that the Governor is suspended
Very wrong cos he lacks the constitutional power to suspend the G0vernor officially, the Governor can only be removed by impeachment
And during this State of Emergency period, they are supposed to work closely with the Governor on the affiars of the state.
But Political game on ground won’t make such happen

Landing cost of petrol increases to N885 per litre

The landing cost of imported premium motor spirit increased to N885 per litre on Wednesday from N797.
The Major Energy Marketers Association of Nigeria disclosed the rise in the landing cost of petrol in its daily energy bulletin released on Wednesday.
This represents 88 increase from the N797 per litre landing cost of petrol last week.
The implication is that the price of imported petrol at Nigerian filling stations may increase to about N1,000 per litre from between N940 and N970.
The current landing cost of petrol is N797 compared to the ex-depot price of Dangote Refinery’s petrol, which stood at N815 per litre. To this end, Dangote Petrol is sold at a retail price in MRS fillings at N860 and N880 per litre in Lagos and Abuja.
Meanwhile, Dangote Refinery’s decision last week Wednesday to halt petroleum products sales in Naira may impact the company’s fresh price template.
Going by the development in the country’s downstream sector, the prices of Dangote Petrol and import fuel are expected to go up in the coming days.
On Tuesday, the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria warned Nigerians against panic buying amid petrol price uncertainty.
PETROAN urged the Nigerian government to continue its Naira-for-Crude deal with Dangote Refinery and at the same time ensure fair pricing competition in the country’s downstream sector.
“PETROAN has also noted reports circulating in the media that the temporary suspension of sales in naira by Dangote Refinery is the reason for the panic buying.
“We wish to reassure the public that this is not a justification for panic buying,” it said.
PETROAN further kicked against the sale of petroleum products in dollars in the Nigerian local market.
