The internal crisis afflicting Nigeria’s main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reached new heights.
This comes as the PDP Presidential Campaign Council’s spokesperson, Daniel Bwala, urged the Federal Government to remove Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike before the 2023 general elections.
Bwala stated on Arise TV on Wednesday, February 15, that the only solution to the state’s unending crisis in the PDP is the removal of the governor, and that the Federal Government should declare a state of emergency in Rivers.
According to a report in The Punch, Bwala stated that Wike’s antics may deter free and fair 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.”
Speaking further, Bwala said that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, would win the presidential election even in Rivers State.
