Breaking News!!! INEC, APC recognizes Arch. Tonye Cole and Ojukaye's led exco ... said Supreme Courts verdict has nothing to do with the just concluded Rivers primaries ~APC National

The controversy rocking the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State seems to be laid to rest as the National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu  cleared the air on the long legal tussle between Sen. Magnus Abe over the outcome of the just concluded primaries that brought Arc. Tonye Dele Cole and Mr. Ojukaye Flag Amachree led excos.

According to a statement credited to Mr. Issa-Onilu on November 1, 2018

"Re: Supreme Court Ruling on Rivers APC

In view of conflicting interpretations that have greeted the recent verdict of the Supreme Court on the contentions among our members in Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), it has become necessary to clarify that the Supreme Court's verdict has nothing to do with  the primaries conducted for the governorship and legislative positions in the state.

Therefore, the candidature of Arch. Tonye Cole along with his running mate, Hon. Victor Giadom remains inviolate. The list of our candidates for the governorship, National Assembly, and House of Assembly have been processed by the National Working Committee (NWC) according to the INEC guidelines.

Our party appreciates the support of the good people of Rivers State and their commitment towards the victory of our governorship candidate, Arch. Tonye Cole and other APC candidates at all levels in the 2019 elections.

A progressive leadership under the APC beckons and the people of Rivers State are poised to effect a change to move the  beleaguered state to a path of progress and development.

SIGNED:
Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu
National Publicity Secretary"

Rivers Election: Princewill spits fire as INEC declares Wike winner

Rivers Election: Princewill spits fire as  INEC declares Wike winner A top former gubernatorial candidate and spokesperson to Tonye Cole Campaign Organization, Prince Tonye Princewill have  accused INEC of murdering sleep in the eyes of Rivers people by their purported declaration of Nyesome Ezenwo Wike as the winner of March 10, gubernatorial election in Rivers State. According to Princewill this morning “I have been the victim of written results on three occasions in my political life. First in 2007 when I ran for Governor, second in 2015, when I ran again and the third time is now, when I didn’t even run. Compared to the others, this blatant one has simply motivated me. None of us will rest on this one, not until justice is done. My message to you is “Fiat justitia ruat caelum” and I say it in Latin so the people who took their time to disenfranchise us can also take their time to remember it, especially those in INEC. You have just murdered sleep and asked us to go t...
