Recall that women have been protesting and rallying for the reinstatement of Fubara since his suspension in March.
A coalition of women have again protested against the state of emergency declared in Rivers state.
The women under the aegis of Rivers Women United for Sim, RWUS, on Thursday staged a peaceful gathering in Port Harcourt, calling for the restoration of peace in Rivers State and the reinstatement of suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The women described Rivers as a peaceful state and urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the lingering political crisis.
The group, turning out en-masse, demanded the reinstatement of all suspended elected officials, insisting that Fubara had committed no wrongdoing to justify his suspension.

On April 11, a crowd of women flooded the Aba road area of Port Harcourt, demanding the reinstatement of Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
The protest, which started along the major road, and advanced to the Rivers State Government House, featured placards with bold inscriptions such as “Bring back Fubara”, “Save our democracy”, “Is the law different for Rivers State?”, and “God of justice, arise for Rivers State”.
The women, while chanting songs of solidarity, described themselves as mothers and wives, appealing directly to Tinubu to lift the suspension on the governor and reinstate all democratic institutions in the state.
