Former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has said that the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and other elected officials of Rivers State, dents Nigeria’s image.

The former Nigerian leader said this while speaking as the Chairman at the Haske Satumari Foundation Colloquium in Abuja on Saturday, March 22.

“These actions by key actors in the executive and legislative arms of government paint the country in a negative light.”

He said it was not the norm for former presidents to comment on issues, so as not to heat up the polity. He, however, added that his comment became necessary after calls from many Nigerians, urging him to speak on the events in Rivers State.

He added that the image of the country and how much investments a country attracts is dependent on the actions of the executive, legislature and judiciary of that country.

Goodluck Jonathan faulted the situation where an individual can dictate to the judiciary, noting that it makes it difficult for anyone to have faith in the judiciary.

On Tuesday March 18, President Tinubu declared a State of Emergency in Rivers state following the protracted political crisis in the state.

In a nationwide broadcast. the President announced the suspension of Gov Fubara, his deputy Professor Ngozi Odu and the state House of Assembly members for six months and the appointment of a sole administrator for the state.
