The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has welcomed the judgement of the State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which on Saturday, October 24, 2015 afternoon in Abuja annulled the declaration of Chief Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the April 11, 2015 governorship poll in the State.

“We have been vindicated in our persistent claim that the election in Rivers State was a sham and that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) erred in declaring Wike governor. We repeat that there is no way under the heavens that Chief Wike can beat our candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, in a free and fair election,” Rivers APC said in a statement issued in Port Harcourt and signed by its Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya immediately after the Tribunal judgement.

The statement reads: “Though, we were expecting total ban of Chief Nyesom Wike from further participation in the politics of Nigeria seeing the orchestration of the number of death of Rivers State people in order for him to be installed as a Care-Taker Governor all thesame we thank the Justice Mohammed Ambrusa-led Tribunal for restoring hope to the downtrodden people of Rivers State who have borne the brunt of Wike’s illegal and visionless administration in the past five months.

“We thank the Tribunal for allowing itself to be used by God to uproot the impostor governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, who has these past five months brought monumental suffering to our people in cahoots with some mischievous and misguided politicians whose only understanding of governance is blackmailing and the looting of our common patrimony,” Rivers APC said. It lamented that “Wike’s tragic entry into the Brick House seat of power has only succeeded to bring back criminality in various forms in the once peaceful Rivers State as kidnapping, robbery and organised crimes have being on the increase since his evil arrival.”

“For the first time in the history of our dear State, a government without any vision or blueprint assumed office, thereby collapsing all the systems of governance. On 22nd October, 2015, 19 students on the scholarship of the Rivers State Government through its agency, the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA) were forced to abandon their studies and return to Nigeria because the State Government had not paid their fees and upkeep in the United Kingdom. Those in Canada and other locations are also expected to return soon for same reasons.

“Earlier this week, the RSUST Chapter of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) went on a protest march and warning strike due to the mindless hiking of fees of the university’s primary and secondary demonstration schools by the clueless Wike administration. Local Government Councils in the State have been unable to pay their staff salaries for August and September while some, such as Opobo/Nkoro, owe their personnel salaries from July 2015 to date.

“In the area of sports, our twin pride Sharks and Dolphins may be relegated from the Nigerian Premier League for the first time in so many years. While Wike was busy looting and wasting Rivers State resources in pursuit of his failed project to destroy his benefactor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, he abandoned governance and now that he has been sent packing, he should summon courage and face the wrath of the law by accounting for the death of our people killed to install him as Care-Taker Governor.

“Rivers APC appealed to the relevant security agencies “to keep close watch on Chief Wike as we are reliably informed that he is planning to run away from facing the wrath of the law for his corrupt practices and for supervising the death of over 100 APC members just because of election. Anything short of this will keep the souls of our people restless.”

The Speaker HOA will act.... He is no longer a governor.

Congrats

Good

hmmm

The drama just got interesting

what a twist to the situation.


but somehow I feel it won't change anything , given that Rivers is predominantly PDP.

H

I know PDP will still win but I'm happy. Now PDP should field the real candidate, not the one the ex first lady forced on rivers.

How e be now?

Wike is going no where until the appeal.

[size=15pt]I will appeal tribunal’s judgement, says Wike[/size]
Nyesom Wike, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the April 11 Rivers state governorship election, says he will appeal Saturday’s judgment of the election petition tribunal nullifying his election.

Addressing journalists after the judgment, Chris Uche (SAN), counsel to PDP, declared that Wike remains governor until the appeal processes are exhausted.

He said the nature of the judgment delivered by Justice Ambrousa-led Tribunal makes appeal vital, as the new position adopted by the tribunal must be tested in the interest of justice.

Uche noted that the tribunal’s reliance on card reader accreditation to nullify the governorship election, when evidence was led by both the respondents and the petitioners that both card reader and manual accreditation were used for the election, requires testing at the court of appeal.

He expressed shock that less than 24 hours after lawyers on all sides submitted nine written addresses and documents, the tribunal sent notice that judgment would be delivered on Saturday morning.

He said the tribunal was aware that the supreme court judgment on the jurisdiction of the tribunal outside of Rivers state would be delivered on Tuesday. He added that the tribunal had seven days to deliver its judgment, wondering why it chose to do so in less than two days.

“This is the first tier in the judicial ladder. We have instructions, becaus‎e this judgment has raised several issues that must be tested on appeal. We still have the court of appeal; we still have the supreme court,” he said.

“We will all remember that even the supreme court has picked next Tuesday to deliver judgment on the jurisdiction of this same tribunal. Suddenly, the date was brought forward to deliver this judgment while the tribunal still had seven days to the expiration of the petition.

“By virtue of section 143 of the electoral act, our candidate, the governor, will remain in office until this matter has gone the whole hog to the supreme court.

“This judgment is one we must test on appeal. We have hope; we will contend with it seriously.”
