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

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

The declaration has sparked wide discussions among Nigerians, then on Wednesday Tinubu also swore in Vice Admiral Ibok-Ette Ibas as the sole administrator of Rivers State.

Recently, 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 in Channels TV on Thursday March 20, 2025.

“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 the stage where it would be complete revolt. That is not me saying I love anarchy but love justice”, he stated.
