Wike: 'I'm still the governor of Rivers State'

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has issued a statement following the nullification of the April 11th election that brought him to power by the Rivers State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja on Saturday October 24.

Wike wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday after he and his party members (PDP) returned back from Abuja where judgement was delivered for his removal and a fresh guber poll be conducted.

''Thank you for your support,'' Wike thanked hundreds of his supporters gathered to show support outside his home in Rivers. ''We have come back from Abuja with party national chairman and other leaders.

''By my profession I'm not suppose to criticise any judge but what I will say is that the tribunal has given their verdict but I know it's not the verdict of God. Your mandate no one will touch. We have to protect Rivers State. I'm still the governor of Rivers State. All of their gang up will do nothing. We cannot be intimidated. We are going to Appeal court and after that Supreme court.

''In Lagos PDP went to court with card reader as one of their case and the tribunal said card reader is not part of the electoral act and based on that APC won the case.

''Same tribunal nullified our election based on card reader. The tribunal cannot overturn the verdict of a higher court.

''Labour party(LP) and Social Democratic Party(SDP) did not give 21 days notice to INEC based on that the tribunal disqualified them but APC based on same fault is different.

''No body will intimidate me to abandon this state.

''Do not make trouble, conduct yourself so that the world will know that you are peaceful.

''Do not panic the law is on our side and God is on our side.

''If they want let them bring the highest squared we will protect your mandate. Thank you all for your support.
