Tomorrow the people of Rivers State will hold the re-run election. Already the state is already under intense political tension as there has been cases of violence and killings. Latest of which was the murder of some military personnel deployed to the state to sustain the peace.
For the ordinary Rivers people, its simply an election between the two big parties: the ruling party PDP and the APC. But for some its simply a battle between the Former Governor of the state Rotimi Amaechi and the incumbent governor Nyesom Wike. The battle line has already been drawn. And yet again, the two political gladiators in Rivers state will be locked in a battle of supremacy in the election re-run which is slated for Saturday March 19, 2016.

Losing the party to the PDP may not have been easy for Amaechi but the victory of the Governor at the Supreme court may have also given the Minister of Transportation a cause to fight back or lose his strong ground in the state he once governed few months back. His presence is already causing discomfort for the ruling party.

While the people look towards a peaceful election, the final winners will be decided by the ordinary people of the state and not by the Gladiators regardless of whatever political schemes they come up with. Its not also an election that decides who truly is the Lion of Niger Delta as attributed to Amaechi and Wike by their supporters, but its a matter of the people chosing their leaders by themselves and for themselves.
