Dakuku Peterside should stop deceiving himself as there will be no rerun in Rivers State

Defeated Rivers State APC Governorship Candidate, Mr Dakuku Peterside should desist from self-deceit and unnecessary political campaigns as there will be no re-run of the governorship election in Rivers State.

His illegal campaign rally last weekend was unfortunate. It has been worsened by the fact that Mr Peterside is still issuing vain campaign statements aimed at overheating the polity.

For the records, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike's lawyers are concluding the appeal process to challenge the judgment of the Justice Suleiman Ambrosa-led Rivers State Governorship Election tribunal which was premised on the card reader accreditation and the hearsay testimonies of security agents already expunged from the tribunal records by the Court of Appeal.

We understand the desperation of Mr Peterside as he is merely dancing to the tunes being played by external forces who want their filthy hands on the resources of Rivers State like they did under the failed administration of Rotimi Amaechi.

The people of Rivers State voted overwhelmingly for Governor Wike on April 11 and 12. The earlier Mr Peterside comes to terms with this fact, th better for him and his treacherous political party.

The use of falsehood and propaganda will not take Peterside anywhere near the Government House, Port Harcourt. Governor Wike has the mandate of the people of Rivers State and this will be reaffirmed in the appeal process.

All the Governorship Tribunals and the Appellate Courts have jointly resolved that card reader accreditation and hearsay evidence would never constitute the grounds for the nullification of an election. Mr Peterside is aware of this facts, hence his desperation to overheat the polity.

Governor Wike will complete his first term on May 28, 2019 as endorsed by the people of Rivers State, ordained by God, which will be reaffirmed by the Appellate process.
