The Spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, has told the Federal Government to remove the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike before the 2023 general elections commence.
Bwala, who spoke Wednesday on Arise TV, said the only solution to the unending crisis in the PDP in the state is the removal of the state governor, adding that the Federal Government should declare a state of emergency in Rivers.
Bwala said that Wike’s antics may deter free and fair conduct of the forthcoming elections in the state.

The Central Bank of Nigeria has opened a portal for the collection of old naira notes from people who still have the notes with them.
The banking regulator opened the portal on its website, days after banks started rejecting the old denominations.
On the portal, crs.cbn.gov.ng, depositors are required to fill in their Bank Verification Number, phone number, email address, bank details, address, the amount to be deposited as well as the denominations to be deposited, after which a reference number would be generated.
With the reference number, the depositor could track the status of the deposit through the portal.
The depositor was also expected to visit a CBN branch with a printout of the filled form.
This occurred despite the adjournment of the case on the legality of the February 10, 2023 deadline for old notes by the Supreme Court.
