ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Daniel Bwala, the Spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Presidential Campaign Council, has told the Federal Government of Nigeria to remove Nyesom Wike as Rivers State Governor before the 2023 general elections commence.
He added that the Federal Government of Nigeria should declare a state of emergency in Rivers.
Bwala, who spoke on Arise TV, said the only solution to the unending crisis in the PDP in the State is the removal of the Governor.
According to him, Wike’s antics may deter free and fair conduct of the forthcoming elections in the state.
He said: “If the chief executive officer of the state cannot allow a free and fair conduct, then the proper thing to do is to declare a state of emergency, remove him and conduct election there and this wouldn’t be new in Nigeria.”
Bwala speaking further, said that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, would win the presidential election even in Rivers State, adding the party cancelled its presidential rally in the state to “avoid bloodshed.”
He added that when Atiku wins the elections, he will go to Rivers State to celebrate with its people.
Bwala further stated that the State had leaders who would ensure Atiku wins.
He mentioned the party’s former National Chairman, Uche Secondus, as “people that matter to deliver votes,” noting that such leaders had consistently delivered votes for Atiku when he ran in the past, maintaining that “they are the ground soldiers who know the people at the base.”
