Election Tribunal May Annul Rivers Guber Poll – Princewill by cidieschat(m): 8:54am On Aug 07, 2015
The governorship candidate of the
Labour Party (LP) in the just concluded
general elections in Rivers State, Prince
Tonye Princewill, has said he would not
be surprised if the courts annulled the
2015 governorship election in the state.
The LP governorship candidate described
the April 11, 2015 governorshipl election,
which saw the emergence of Governor
Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike as the worst in
the history of the state.
This is as Anglican Bishop of Evo
Diocese; Rt. Rev. Innocent Ordu, has
called on politicians in Rivers State to
emulate the political lifestyle of LP
governorship candidate, following his
peaceful, non-violent disposition during
and after the general elections in the
state.
Princewill, in a statement issued in Port
Harcourt yesterday, wondered what the
outcome of a re-run election in the state
would be, if the courts eventually
nullified the April polls, saying he would
continue to be on the side of the people
of the state.
He said, “Truth be told, the annulment of
the elections in Rivers State, will not
surprise me; but what will be the
outcome of a re-election? My stand is
with the people of Rivers State. I have a
feeling I know what they want. We’ll see!
“I stand boldly to say that the April
elections were the worst in our history;
but by our constitution, Governor Nyesom
Wike was sworn in, thanks to INEC. He
is, therefore, the governor and has a
constitutional duty to govern the state,
till further notice.”
Princewill, who denied rumours that his
petition was recently struck out by the
state governorship elections petition
tribunal, called for prayers for Wike,
whom he said , remained the governor of
the state, having been declared so by
INEC.
The former governorship hopeful said,
“So even if rumours cooked up by
mischief-makers, state that my case was
recently struck out, the majority that
follow and understand my activities know
that I have no business with the Rivers
State Election Petitions Tribunal. It was
not my case.
“He (Wike) needs the support and
prayers of all to achieve that. I refused
to approach the tribunal for many
reasons, some which I made public, but
one major reason was the fact that men
of God I respect, told me not to. And
when I prayed about it, my mind was at
peace. It still is.”
Ordu, who spoke in Port Harcourt, at the
end of the 3rd session of the 2nd Synod
of the Anglican Diocese of Evo,
commended Princewill for his peaceful
disposition and called on those who lost
elections in the state to prayerfully
accept the outcome and stop upsetting
the peace of the state for the sake of
the common good of the people.
He said, “We think strongly that
politicians of other political parties in
Rivers State have a lot of moral lessons
to learn from one of their own, Tonye
Princewill, the flag-bearer of the Labour
Party at the last gubernatorial election in
the state. His peaceful, non-violent
disposition before, during and after the
elections deserve our commendation and
those of other well-meaning Rivers
people.
“We encourage all who lost the elections
in the state to prayerfully accept the
outcome and stop upsetting the peace of
the state for the sake of our common
good. Power comes from God and He
chooses the one to give it to at any
time.”

If people who rig elections always get away with it, then rigging would never stop in the history of this nation. Others would feel free to do it and get away with it. Men of God shouldn't be telling people not to challenge elections. Those people who are rigged out, don't they serve God as well?

Thank God the highest they could go is to annul the election. I know Wike will still win again. Just as if they conduct Sokoto elections 20 times Sen. Tambuwal will win.
