The Peopls Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State yesterday appealed to its members and supporters to be calm and law abiding, despite the verdict of the Supreme Court rejecting Gov. Nyesom Wike’s appeal.
The apex court yesterday dismissed an appeal by Wike challenging the relocation of the Election Petition Tribunal from Port Harcourt to Abuja.
The state Chairman of the party, Chief Felix Obuah, made the call in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Jerry Needam, in Port Harcourt.
It stated that in spite of the verdict against Wike and the state legislators, there was no cause for alarm.
As stated by the statement, all members of the party and Rivers people should remain resolute because Wike, the legislators and party will be victorious at the end of the day.
“But, we can now see light at the end of the tunnel, and are therefore, not perturbed. We are sure of victory,” it stated.
The statement went further to say that Wike’s administration was focused and determined to put smiles on the faces of the people.
