The Rivers governor, Mr Wike, issued a statement on Sunday night disassociating the state from the planned protest.
“Rivers State does not subscribe to what the RevolutionNow protest represents and Rivers State is not part of the protest,” said the statement signed by the governor’s media aide, Simeon Nwakaudu.
Mr Wike, a known critic of Mr Buhari’s administration, said #RevolutionNow is illegal.
The governor said he has directed security agencies to arrest anybody who would be involved in the protest.
He said he has also directed local authorities in the state to be on alert and report any “illegal gathering” to security agencies.
