Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Wednesday described Governor Nyesom
Wike’s victory at the Rivers State governorship election as victory for
the people of the state and the triumph of good over evil.
The party said Wike’s record 700,000 votes margin of victory over
“the disgraced combined anti-people forces of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and the African Action Congress (AAC) and compromised
security agencies speaks volume of the resilience of the people of
Rivers State in the face of intimidations, harassment and manipulations
by oppressive forces.”
According to PDP,
“The victory reinforces the confidence of the
people in the resoluteness of asserting their democratic choice of
leadership as well as standing in defence of their mandate to the end.
“It also demonstrates that the will of the people will always prevail
against every form of suppression as were eminently manifested in the
desperation by the APC leaders, particularly, the Minister of
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to forcefully and violently take over
control of the state against the wish of the people.”
The opposition party saluted “all compatriots who were killed by
agents of the oppressors during the election,” saying “these compatriots
did not die in vain and those who shed their innocent blood will surely
be brought to book.”
The PDP commended Wike, the people of Rivers State and all lovers of
democracy across the board for standing firm until the very end to hand
this disgraceful defeat to the enemies of the people.
The PDP congratulated all the party’s candidates who won their
elections at all levels across the country and assured those pursuing
their stolen mandates at the tribunals that the party is fully behind
them, given that they all have water tight cases at the courts.
