Senator Seriake Dickson, who represents Bayelsa West, has said he led a walkout from the Senate before lawmakers approved President Bola Tinubu’s emergency rule in Rivers State.  

The former Bayelsa governor described the decision as unconstitutional, adding that several senators, including Aminu Tambuwal and Enyinnaya Abaribe, also opposed the measure and left the chamber in protest.
