| Wike Taking The Oat As Governor |
The Rivers State Election Petition Tribunal on Saturday, 24th of October sacked Nyesom Wike as the Governor of Rivers State.
The tribunal, which delivered its ruling in Abuja on Saturday, also ordered that a fresh governorship election be conducted in the state.
The petition challenging the election of Mr. Wike as Rivers State Governor was filed by Dakuku Peterside, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the election.
The Rivers governorship election, which was criticised by local and international observers, witnessed the largest amount of violence both in its build-up and after the elections.
In the mean time, the sacked Governor, Nyesom Wike has reacted to the judgement, says he will appeal it.
If appelate court will affirm or upturn this judgement, time will surely tell.
