Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has described the nullification of his election as a temporary setback, saying that God’s will and the mandate of the people will prevail at the end of the day.
Addressing thousands of Rivers State people who thronged the Port Harcourt International Airport to receive him on Thursday, Governor Wike urged the people to remain peaceful as the state remains PDP despite the contrived situation at present.
He assured the people that his lawyers have already started the process of Appeal to the Supreme Court, noting that after the Supreme Court, the PDP will work with whatever judgment emanates from the apex court.
The governor said the PDP is ready for the National Assembly elections as ordered by the Appeal Court, but warned that the people will resist any attempt by the Federal Government to use soldiers and policemen to manipulate the elections.
He said: “I want to warn, let nobody attempt to do what happened in Bayelsa State here. Since they said they have annulled the elections, let them come and conduct fresh elections. Let nobody think that they can use soldiers and policemen to intimidate us. We will resist any such attempt. We have maintained our cool for a long time. Our calmness should not be mistaken as a sign of weakness “.
He said that Rivers people are peace loving, but they hate injustice and intimidation.
He advised all PDP members in the state to commence unit to unit and ward to ward campaigns for the National Assembly elections.
“We shall return all our National Assembly members as a way to disgrace those who think they will snatch the mandate of the people,” he said.
He said that the administration will continue to work for the people of the state and deliver good governance and projects to the people.
Wike was welcomed by the speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, members of the State Executive Council, former National Assembly members, PDP leaders, Local Government Caretaker Chairmen, women and youth groups.

ReplyDeleteMumu wicked Wike and his gullible surpporters .
ReplyDeleteHaters/mumu and sheepish PDP over to unahhhhhhhh
Wicked Wike, are you still in bricks house(seat of power of rivers state government)?, where you not told that you are only a caretaker governor?. You should start packing your few personal effects as quickly as possible to avoid unprecedented embarrassment and disgrace. They will not only embarrass and disgrace you, you will also be sent to jail as justice demands for the innocent blood you spilled
ReplyDeleteBros, this isn't good enough. Truth is that Wike should stop wasting Rivers State money on litigation. If he was actually enjoying the mandate of the masses, let him accept these judgements and go to the field. It is a very simple thing. The earlier he does that, the better for him. Also, looks like everything that came from GEJ is bad luck for the people involved. It's really a pity.

That oil in Bayelsa Rivers Akwa Ibom Calabar Delta and Edo but be under full colonial control of the north. Abia Anambra and Imo can be left alone but isolated for now.
