The Rivers State
Election Petition Tribunal has sacked Nyesom Wike as the Governor of Rivers
State. The tribunal, which delivered its ruling in Abuja on Saturday, also
ordered that a fresh governorship election be conducted in the state.
The petition
challenging the election of Mr. Wike as Rivers State Governor was filed by
Dakuku Peterside, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the
election.
The Rivers governorship
election, which was criticised by local and international observers, witnessed
the largest amount of violence both in its build-up and after the elections.
