Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has faulted President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
Soyinka who spoke in a televised interview described the situation as excessive.
Recall Tinubu declared emergency rule in the oil-rich state on Tuesday over the political crisis and instability in the state.
He also suspended Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state; his deputy, Ngozi Odu; and all members of the Rivers assembly for an initial period of six months.
