Former governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed gratitude to God for the Tribunal’s judgment which nullified the election of Governor Nyesom Wike.
The former Governor of Rivers state has therefore tasked Rivers People to build their hope on praise and worship to God.
Ameachi gave the advice at an event to mark 8th anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling which declared him Governor of Rivers State in 2007.
He also attributed the ruling of the Rivers state Governorship election tribunal which nullified Governor Nyesome Wike to God.
“When they called me and told me about the ruling, the first thing I heard was after the reggae play the blues and I said everybody should go and praise God.
“If you thought we won by our own strength then you are not godly and you are not a Christian.
” You can pay all the money you want to pay but if God says it is not your turn it is not your turn. It is God that gave the victory at the tribunal.
“Even if we win at the Supreme Court it is still not yet time for celebration.
“This is not a new path for those of you who know me. We did not know they had fixed Saturday for judgement, here we are to thank God,” Amaechi said.
On his part, the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers, Dakuku Peterside said the ruling of the tribunal has shown that no one can assume power by forceful means.
Peterside said he was hopeful that the party will win the rerun election ordered by the tribunal.
He called on members of the party to be peaceful and continue to conduct themselves decently.
