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.

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.
