Tacha, a Big Brother Naija star, responded to a troll who criticised her for her “silence” on the ongoing issue in Rivers State.

The troll took to X on March 18, 2025, to call her out, saying, “See how Tacha is quiet over this Rivers issue. If it’s to come out and talk rubbish about feminists, she will be at the front.”

Rivers State native Tacha didn’t hesitate to clap back. She defended herself by saying that she has discussed the state’s problems more than the majority of regional public figures.

She wrote, “I’ve talked about Rivers State more than all the celebrities from Rivers State put together!! If you’re so concerned, grow up your own platform and talk. Nobody hold ur mouth.”

“This one is just chasing clout! Tacha that even warned us about a situation like this! What is her own now!”

“You know why I love Nigerians?? They don’t forget and they will always say the truth, it’s really cool to see that even people that don’t like Tacha are testifying..📌”

However, following the lengthy political crisis that has gripped the state, President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in the state and announced the six-month suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly in a nationwide broadcast on Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

Citing Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution, Tinubu claimed that the decision was required to restore order and stop the crisis from getting worse.
