The ruling of the gubernatorial election petition tribunal in Rivers
state was today upheld by the Court of Appeal sitting Abuja. The Court
ruled that the election of Nyesom Wike did not conform with the
electoral act and
hence ordered a rerun in 90 days.
Wike of the PDP, had run to the Court of Appeal after an election
petition tribunal ruled in favor of Dakuku Peterside of the APC. The
Court however dismissed his appeal on all grounds, saying the election
was marred by wide-scale violence.
