The All Progressives Congress (APC), Rivers State chapter, has described the Appeal Court judgment, which affirmed the sack of Governor Nyesom Wike, as a birthday gift to the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Felix Obuah.
A statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday by the Publicity Secretary of APC in the state, Mr. Chris Finebone, said: “APC is happy to recognise that yesterday is the birthday of Obuah, We are glad to offer him this Appeal Court judgment as a perfect birthday gift.”
The party said it received with satisfaction, the verdict of the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, which upheld the judgment of the Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which sacked Governor Wike.
According to the publicity secretary, the party considered the decision of the appellate court, to the effect that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not comply substantially with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), as trite and incontrovertible.
