Any Surprises?Rivers State Election Tribunal annuls the election of Ezenwo Nyesom Wike
I always had this super confidence that Nyesom Wike's pact with Rivers people wouldn't last.
I mean, the signs were always there; very obvious!; audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that the April 11 Governorship elections in Rivers State would be annulled.
My reason was very simple; those killings in Rivers were highly unnecessary and careless because like I told my Ogoni Friend, Lebari, that in a contest devoid of irregularities, Nyesom Wike would still win because all over the South South, the party to beat as at the time of the April guber polls was the PDP.
So, with the popularity of his party, I still find it difficult to understand the reasoning behind all those extremely disgusting killings and spate of violence purportedly perpetuated against the supporters of the then ruling APC in Rivers State.
I can only say that for those headless bodies, those hacked down in their prime, Justice has come albeit temporarily.
Well for now, it remains to be seen the next step that Nyesom would take but as he tweeted via his twitter handle, "the victory given by God will be sustained".
Expectedly, the next step would an appeal.
But for now, let us savor this victory for the common man whilst we eagerly anticipate what comes next.
