The factional All Progressives
Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Rivers State, Tonye Cole, has reacted
to Friday’s Supreme Court’s judgement nullifying the party’s primaries in the
state.
Cole said he remained hopeful of
victory at the apex court as judgement on the substantive suit is slated for
Monday.
Spokesman of the Tonye
Cole/Giadom Campaign Organization, Ogbonna Nwuke in a statement in Abuja after
the judgement, urged APC supporters in the state not to be disheartened.
The statement reads: “Our
attention has been drawn to reports which suggest that Ibrahim Umar and 22
others have secured a final determination at the Supreme Court.
“The facts available to us are
that the only issue determined today, Friday, 8th February, 2019 was that of legal
representation, which had been in contention.
“Based on the various conflicting
headlines being carried, it is critical to state that there are other pending
matters, including the substantive appeal, which is yet to be determined by the
Supreme Court.
“Our faith in the judiciary
remains unshaken. We wish to urge our numerous supporters not to panic,
following the deliberate misrepresentation of facts on the social media and
elsewhere regarding the outcome of today’s judgement. We shall surely be triumphant
in the end.”
