‘This is not the verdict of God’ | Read Gov Wike’s reaction to Rivers tribunal ruling

Wike

Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, whose election has just been nullified by the Election Petition Tribunal, says he will appeal the verdict.

The petition tribunal, on Saturday, sacked Wike from office and ordered INEC to conduct a fresh election.

In his first reaction since the verdict, Wike told journalists at Port Harcourt International Airport, that he’s still the governor of Rivers state.

Wike said he was ready to go all the way, if need be, to the Supreme Court, to appeal the ruling.

“ So, what I can say is that the tribunal has given it own verdict, but we know that by the special grace of God, that is not the verdict of God. Nobody can take your mandate.”

“So, I want to urge you to be calm and be peaceful; I am still the governor of Rivers State.

“Our lawyers are going on appeal; we are all going on appeal. There is also the Supreme Court. We believe that we have a good case.”
