Why FG Should Remove Wike, Declare State Of Emergency In Rivers – Atiku Campaign

The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council has called for the removal of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State over the unending violence in the South-South state.

The Atiku Campaign Council stated that Wike should be removed before the 2023 general elections begin on February 25 and asked the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the state.

According to the Council, the antics of the Rivers governor may scuttle free and fair conduct of the forthcoming elections in the state.

Naija News reports that the Spokesperson for the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, stated this during an interview on Arise News on Wednesday.

He said, “If the chief executive officer of the state cannot allow free and fair conduct, then the proper thing to do is to declare a state of emergency, remove him and conduct an election there and this wouldn’t be new in Nigeria.”

Speaking further, Bwala said that the PDP standard bearer, Atiku Abubakar, would win the presidential election even in Rivers despite Wike’s effort to frustrate the expected victory.

The Atiku campaign spokesman said the former Vice President will go to Rivers State to celebrate with its people when he wins the election.

Bwala further stated that PDP leaders in the state such as the former National Chairman, Uche Secondus, would ensure Atiku wins.

He noted that such leaders had consistently delivered votes for Atiku when he ran in the past adding that “they are the ground soldiers who know the people at the base.”
