Rivers: Why I’m happy with Tinubu’s state of emergency declaration — Sowore

Activist, Omoleye Sowore has revealed why he is happy at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state of emergency declaration in Rivers State.


On Tuesday, Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State and suspended all democratically elected authorities.


The declaration has sparked wide condemnations among Nigerians, then on Wednesday, President Tinubu swore in Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas as the sole administrator of Rivers State.


Reacting, Sowore said the chaos in Rivers State may push Nigerians to demand revolution.

 

“To be clear, I am not here to defend godfather and son. I don’t care about them. I hope they destroy themselves.”   Sowore disclosed on Channels Television on Thursday morning, March 20.


“I am happy because maybe this is going to force Nigerians across the country to wake up. They have been too complicit, domicile as a result of cowardice.

“It will force Nigerian to complete the 30 days challenge and move on to the stage where is will be complete revolt. That is not me saying I love anarchy but love Justice,” he stated.
