An Appeal Court sitting in Lagos State on Tuesday dismissed the petition filed by the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Patrick Tonye-Cole, against Governor Siminalayi Fubara of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The appellate court also dismissed the petition of Accord Party.

The APC candidate, who was present in the courtroom on Tuesday, wanted the court to direct INEC to declare him the winner of the March governorship election in Rivers.

The Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had in October dismissed the petition of Cole challenging the election of Fubara as the governor of the state.

The tribunal had dismissed the petition saying that the APC that sponsored Cole had withdrawn the petition against Fubara’s victory.

Not satisfied with the Tribunal’s victory, the APC candidate approached the appellate court. However, the court on Tuesday affirmed the Tribunal ruling which earlier upheld Fubara’s electoral victory in October.

I was laughing when some where saying that Wike will work to remove Fubara and put someone else...

Remove Fubara and out who now?

Fubara is his very best option.. anyone else he puts will turn against him in one week.

It's very very obvious that the conditions Wike gave Fubara are too stringent and wicked, that's why the falling out was so quick and intense.

Fubara has a lot of secrets on Wike, Wike must manage him till 2027.

He has no option.

Like say them get option. You want to pull what you did in Kano in South South especially Rivers State? Try am and see your crude oil revenue go down in this hard period.

People in South South hate slavery even with your money. I mean these are people who were selling people from other parts of Nigeria to the Whites na. From Edo down to Akwa Ibom were slave dealers.

Who he grandparents deal on slaves nai you wan turn slave. They hate it like mad brother.

Tonye Cole has become a serial loser. He should look for appointment and stop the 4-yearly bazaar with scarce fund.

Just like Jimi Agbaje

Nobody advise am before he left the 4-yearly serial contesting race for Atiku.

Kaa4:
It is actually very bad. Judiciary has never had it this bad. Th types of the Judiciary we had under Yar-Adua was very good and independent.
Mark my words, Wike can keep Rivers only at the pleasure of Tinubu. Really, we got an emperor who can not be queried on our hands.

May God deliver Nigeria,
