The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State says it is confident that Governor Nyesom Wike, would be removed by the election petition tribunal, despite his assumption of office. It will be recalled that Wike won on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, during the April elections this year. However, the APC chairman in the state, Dr. Davies Ikanya, in a statement on Saturday, said “Mr. Wike was unjustly declared winner by the state INEC, which never hides its connivance with Rivers PDP. “He does not have the legitimate mandate of the good people of Rivers State to act as their governor. We remain confident that the Election Petition Tribunal will do the needful and sack him accordingly in view of the materials submitted to them, in view of the immorality associated with his occupation of the Government House and in view of the outcry of the people of Rivers State that he does not have their mandate to serve as their governor. “As we wait to reclaim the mandate of the Rivers State people, which was wickedly seized by INEC in their desperation to impose Wike as the governor of Rivers State, we wish to state that we will not allow the blood of our members spilled to be in vain. “We owe them and their families the duty to ensure that a God-fearing governor in the person of Dr. Dakuku Peterside is duly installed in the Government House based on the mandate of the good Rivers State people.”
