Anderson Cooper Speaks: Sowore's Take On Tinubu's Emergency Declaration In Rivers State

Sowore Cheers Tinubu's Move: Emergency Declaration in Rivers State Sparks Debate

Listen up, folks! The 2023 Presidential Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has weighed in on President Bola Tinubu’s bold decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State. This move comes after a political storm brewed between Governor Sim Fubara, members of the Rivers House of Assembly, and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike. Let me break it down for you.

Naija News reported that on Tuesday, President Tinubu didn’t hesitate to step in and declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, suspending Governor Fubara, his deputy, and members of the House of Assembly. Amid the chaos, Tinubu swiftly appointed Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas as the sole administrator of Rivers State on Wednesday, sparking a mix of reactions from Nigerians.

This decision didn’t sit well with everyone, and public outrage and criticisms quickly followed. However, Sowore had something to say about it. In an interview with Channels Television on Thursday, he openly expressed his satisfaction with Tinubu’s decision, emphasizing that the turmoil in Rivers State might just be the wake-up call Nigerians need to rise against poor governance and ineffective leadership.

Sowore's Bold Stance: Let Them Destroy Themselves

Now, here’s the kicker. Sowore made it crystal clear that he’s not here to play favorites or take sides in the power struggle between godfathers and their proteges in Rivers State. He frankly stated, “To be clear, I am not here to defend either the godfather or the so-called ‘son.’ Honestly, I don’t care about them. I hope they destroy themselves in this power play.”

He went on to explain that this chaotic situation could serve as a catalyst for Nigerians to wake up and take action. “I’m genuinely happy because this might force Nigerians across the country to open their eyes. They’ve been too complacent, too passive because of fear. It’s time for a change,” he remarked.

A Call for Justice, Not Anarchy

Sowore further elaborated, saying, “This situation could push Nigerians to participate in the 30-day challenge and move toward a complete revolt. Now, let me clarify—I’m not advocating for anarchy. What I’m rooting for is justice. Nigerians deserve better, and it’s time they demand it.”

His words carry a lot of weight, reminding Nigerians that their voices matter and that standing up against injustice is not only necessary but also vital for the nation’s progress. Whether you agree with Sowore or not, one thing is certain—this is a moment of reflection and action for everyone involved in Nigerian politics.

So, what do you think? Is this the wake-up call Nigeria needs, or is it just another chapter in the country’s political drama? Let’s keep the conversation going!
