Rivers State APC chapter has said they
have put everything in place and now heading to the court to challenge the
Victory of PDP’s governorship candidate, Chief Nyesom Wike in the last election, who INEC declared winner. According to a statement
released by the chairman of Rivers APC Chapter, Davies Ikanya, the party’s mandate
was stolen by the Peoples Democratic Party, in connivance with the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the police. Below is part of the statement released by the party chairman.
“This brazen electoral theft
by Chief Nyesome Wike and his PDP gangsters cannot be allowed to stand.”
“These power-drunk
anti-democratic elements, in their desperation for power, were not discreet in
their electoral fraud that saw the allocation of a bogus over a million votes
to Chief Wike.
“The documents and video
tapes so far assembled will surely see many Rivers INEC and PDP chieftains
being thrown into jail at the end of the day,” part of the statement read.
“We wish to appeal to our
members and the entire people of Rivers State to remain calm and resolute as
the party goes to the Tribunal to retrieve their stolen mandate. Our case is as
clear as daylight, as even Prof. Wole Soyinka, Ambassador John Endwistle of the
United States of America, the European Union Electoral Observers and other
international bodies have since testified that the elections purportedly
conducted in Rivers State were a sham.”
“With this development, Chief Wike will now join the league of Sir Celestine Omehia who spent only four months as Governor of Rivers State before he was sacked by the Supreme Court in 2007,” another part read.
