The movie star took to her Twitter page on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, where she dragged the governor over his declaration.

"Your mustache says it all. You could have chosen to be any kind of leader you wanted. You chose to be a dictator. Do you have children? That’s a shame. LEADERS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for every loss of innocent life in their State. #ENDSARSOPPRESSION #EndSarsNow," she tweeted.
Wike had earlier taken to Twitter where he banned all forms of protests in the state.
"The Rivers State Government hereby wishes to inform the general public that all forms of protests have been banned throughout the State. Therefore, all proposed protests under #EndSars Campaign are hereby prohibited," he tweeted.
This is the second senior public official Nnaji will be sending a strong message to since the #EndSars protest began in the country.
