He made the call against the backdrop of his
party’s loss of Rivers state governorship seat to
the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
The Supreme Court has last week affirmed the
electoral victory of Governor Nyesom Wike of
Rivers state and dismissed the suit of the APC
governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside who
had urged the court to upturn the victory of the
APC.

The APC chief said this when he received a
delegation of the party from the state led by
Peterside where he expressed shock over the
verdict of the Supreme Court saying: “something
fundamentally wrong in the judiciary.”
Commenting on the request of the delegation to
meet with president Muhamamdu
Buhari,Oyegun promised to arrange a meeting
between the president and members of the
Rivers APC to address the state of the party,
Vanguard reports.

He said: “The APC National leadership has not
neglected party leaders and supporters in
Rivers State. The state has always been in the
front burner of discussion and decision in the
party. There is obviously something
fundamentally wrong in Rivers State which
needs to be investigated and addressed.

“Your visit has had a sober effect on me. This
meeting will kickstart urgent actions to address
what went wrong. As of today, there is an
attempt being made by INEC to bar us from
elections in Anambra and other states. We must
address these issues. I still find the judgement
on the Rivers State governorship election totally
astonishing. There is something fundamentally
wrong in the judiciary.

“We have lost very important resource-rich
states to the PDP. No matter how crude oil
prices have fallen, it is still the most important
revenue earner for the country.

“I will take up your request to facilitate a
meeting with the President. We will do that as
soon as possible and also make it clear that
there are problems which as a party, we must
address .”
