The Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja has dismissed an application by the state Governor, Nysom Wike,…
With any fear of contradiction, Barrister Wike is equal to the task. He has been primed over the years for a time like this. His emergence as the next governor of Rivers State is one that will be a blessing for the state as he is a politician, lawyer and administrator with the relevant qualities to turn around a state that has been made a laughing stock by the outgoing administration.
In a Thank You Message on his election as the governor-elect, Barrister Wike stated that the massive support he got from across the state is a challenge for him to ensure that the people of the state step into better days and experience compassionate governance with the right political will to positively transform the state
The latest being the Nollywood scripted declaration by the embattled Rivers State All Progressives Congress Chairman, David Ikanya, who claimed that the governorship election was rigged by the Peoples Democratic Party in connivance with the Independent National Electoral Commission and the police. We sympathise with Mr. Ikanya as he is desperately struggling to find relevance in the APC after his last minute efforts to defect to PDP were thwarted by party officials who questioned his motive under the circumstances
The people made up their minds to rescue their beloved state from the hands of a treacherous mob, determined to further destroy the state and enslave her people to deadly predators. On this matter, the unity of Rivers people was unshakeable.

Addressing journalists on Saturday after voting at Unit 7 Ward 9 in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area during the governorship and state Assembly elections, Wike revealed that Amaechi’s desperation was such that he led security men to his (Wike’s) family home by 2:30 am on election day

Wike said: “Dr. Ipalibo Banigo is a woman of uncommon integrity, devotion to duty, a technocrat, a professional and a career woman who shares Rivers’ vision
The APC, in a statement on Tuesday, said: “Wike would have tried to be man enough and allow the G16 to contest and defeat him flatly instead of allowing himself to be imposed as Rivers PDP governorship candidate through what has been generally accepted to be the most fraudulent and kangaroo governorship congress ever in Nigeria’s history
He expressed optimism that in unity, the party members would defeat their All Progressives Congress opponents in next year’s elections
Announcing the results, the Chairman of the Electoral Panel, Bekeakpor Etifa, declared Wike winner over the 24 aspirants that contested in the primaries
Asomugha said: “The union thinks the parties are making some kind of progress
