The Rivers State Election Petitions Tribunal holden at the Federal
High Court, Apo, FCT Abuja, has dismissed the application filed by Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike, challenging the eligibility of Dakuku Peterside to
contest the April 11, 2015 Governorship election in Rivers State.
Wike is the candidate
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while Peterside is of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the election.
Today’s verdict now
sets the stage for the Tribunal to commence hearing in the main matter. Peterside
is challenging the declaration of Wike winner of that election.
This latest loss by
Wike is the third to Peterside in the prelude to the hearing of the main
matter.
