A legal practitioner, Dr. Benson Enikuomehin, has commended President Bola Tinubu for declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State, describing it as a bold step.

Enikuomehin, however, urged the president not to spare the FCT Minister, Mr. Nyesom Wike, for allegedly sponsoring the crisis in the state.

He said: “I commend Mr. President for taking the bold step in declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State due to the palpable tension looming in the state.

“While the governor, deputy governor, and House of Assembly have been suspended for six months, I strongly believe that the key figure promoting and sponsoring the crisis, Mr. Nyesom Wike, should not be spared. Given his role in the Rivers crisis, he should be relieved of his position as a federal minister.

“This is what will bring all parties to their knees and ensure that justice is served.”
