Ebun Olu Adegboruwa has described Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State as a dictator.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Adegboruwa listed attributes which made him described the Governor as a dictator.
He said the attributes include the arbitrary arrest of pilots and oil workers; the closure of State boundaries and an executive order to auction all vehicles impounded for allegedly violating the State’s lockdown rules.

He added that the happenings in Rivers State recently had become an affront to the rule of law and democracy.
The SAN further stated that the Rivers State Governor has no legal right in law to confiscate the property of citizens by executive fiat.
Adegboruwa urged the people of the State to stand against every form of lawlessness and defend their rights under the Constitution.
