Nullification of my election a temporary setback, says Governor Wike...

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has described  the  nullification of his election as a temporary setback,  saying  that  God’s will and the  mandate of  the  people will prevail at the end of the day.
Addressing thousands of Rivers State people  who  thronged the  Port Harcourt International Airport  to receive him on Thursday, Governor Wike urged the people to remain peaceful   as the state remains  PDP  despite  the contrived situation  at present.

He assured the people  that his lawyers have already  started the process  of Appeal to the  Supreme Court, noting  that  after the Supreme Court,  the PDP  will work with whatever  judgment emanates from the apex court.
The governor said the PDP is ready  for the National Assembly elections  as ordered by the Appeal Court,  but warned  that the  people  will resist  any attempt by the Federal Government to use soldiers and policemen  to manipulate  the elections.
The governor  stated that Rivers  people are peace loving,  but they hate injustice  and intimidation.  He advised  all PDP  members  in  the  state  to commence  unit to unit and ward to ward campaigns  for  the  National Assembly elections.

He said that the administration  will continue  to  work for the people  of  the state and deliver good governance  and  projects  to  the  people.
Governor  Wike  was welcomed  by the speaker  of the  Rivers State House of Assembly, members of the State Executive Council,  former National Assembly members,  PDP  leaders, Local  Government Caretaker Chairmen,  women and youth groups.
