Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said his lawyers are concluding the appeal process to challenge the ruling of the Justice Suleiman Ambrosa-led Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal.
The Governor also accused the APC Governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside of embarking on illegal campaign.
Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to Wike on Media, in a statement maintained that the Governor had the mandate of the people of Rivers state.
Nwakaudu cautioned Peterside to desist from peddling propaganda against Wike.
According to him, “The defeated Rivers State APC governorship candidate, Mr. Dakuku Peterside should desist from self-deceit and unnecessary political campaigns as there will be no rerun of the governorship election in Rivers State.
“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, the better for him and his 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.
“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.”
