Naira redesign a plot to force postponement of 2023 elections – Wike

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday warned Nigerians against embarking on any form of protest over the scarcity of new Naira notes, saying such would scuttle the forthcoming general elections.

Wike made the call during the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign rally in the Opobo/Nkoro local government area of the state.

He stressed that any protest may force the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone the elections and possibly the imposition of an interim government on the country.
