Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress ADC, has faulted the Supreme Courts verdict on the emergency rule on Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.

On Monday, the apex court affirmed the constitutional power of the President to declare a state of emergency and suspend elected officials.

Speaking on Channels Televisions Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Okonkwo said the apex court should have declined to comment on the emergency rule declared in the state, arguing that its pronouncement has far-reaching implications for Nigerias democracy.
