Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said that Nyesom Wike remains the governor of Rivers state despite the ruling of the elections petition tribunal.
In a statement, the Chairman of the party in the state, Chief Felix Obuah said the tribunal has shot itself in the leg by delivering a biased judgement less than 24 hours after adopting the written addresses in a matter that lasted more than four months.
Obuah noted that Wike shall have the last laugh because he was duly elected as governor of the state.
The statement read “There is no other reason why the tribunal hurriedly delivered the contraption it called judgment in less than 24 hours after adopting the written addresses on a matter that lasted over four months, than to pre-empt the judgment of the Supreme Court against the tribunal by the PDP which comes up next week Tuesday.
“The good thing is that by the hurried judgment, the tribunal chairman has exposed his partiality and shot himself in the leg by defying all legal procedures and going ahead to deliver judgment on the APC petition when there is an impending matter hinging on the appeal at the Supreme Court just as he refused to vacate his seat as chairman of the election petitions tribunal for the State Governorship Election Petitions despite PDP’s resentment on questions of integrity and impartiality.
“Notwithstanding all this, in the end we shall have the last laugh.
“Men have today Saturday, October 24, 2015 after being compromised serve their immoral judgment, God would soon give justice in the governorship election in Rivers State.”
