Almighty YAHWEH has paid them back in their own coin. They will never come together but scatter that fight against God’s programme. wike and his killer cohorts oppose natural justice, New Nigeria I hail thee. Amaechi the Lion is Vindicated.
It is inconceivable for any right thinking person to think that APC can win Gubernatorial election in Rives State. It can only happen if the election is manipulated.. Rivers State like Akwa Ibom is a PDP State. No Tribunal can change how people feel. The number of people supporting APC in these States are not at par with those supporting PDP. No matter your political leanings that is the Truth Let us not be carried away by the euphoria of APC’s Victory at the centre. One of the achievements of PDP under Jonathan is that they never stole any victory,or influnced Tribunal to give victory to PDP. Let APC government try not to change that in order not to contend with crisis on two fronts. boko haram insurgency is a handful.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MEMBERS OF APC IN RIVERS STATE
I WANT MY FRIENDS THAT ARE IN PDP TO COME JOIN ME IN APC, BECAUSE NO TIME TO WAST IN POLITICS OF FRAUD BY PDP AND NYESOM WIKE
You can’t even spell correctly. Shame on you!
Okoooooooooo let’s wait and see the details.
It is refreshing news from Port Harcourt or is it Abuja
I know one man who would not be so happy about it He is MJM Guess
Mbu Joe Mb
PDP must go calamity people
The God of justice will fight for Ameachi and his just group in River State. Let’s continue to pray for the just group of APC in the 90 days of the re-run election. Let madam patience jonathan come again with joseph mbu to fight Ameachi. We are watching.
I,m today bcs God has vindicated my good friend Ameachi and the Apc today, wike pls leave that seat okay.
Good, remaining fayooo Baba. Ekiti must b liberated too.
This is a no brainer. Was there an election in the first place?
Shame on APC members, this guy’s re greedy. What happened in Kaduna and Kano during the presidential election? Must each state be APC state? Must pple re just carried away with their called change. Is this all about change?Ameachi have been in power for year, when baba took over May 29th he promise us he’s for everybody and for nobody but today most of us that have eyes and can think fast know he’s for some top politicians and never for common pple. He promise to bring in responsible men and women in is ministerial list but to our biggest surprise, we all saw former Gov of Rivers state Ameachi. Ohhh shame to Mr. President, u re fighting corruption, knowing fully well Ameachi is the most corrupt Gov in the country still he’s one of the credible pple Mr. President said he should work for another 8yrs, what a shame to Mr. President and this called APC members As for Wike, God is with you. APC followers, this is not about change but fraud to our fellow citizen. Special thanks to former President GEJ, you remain a father to this blessed country hugs.
Has anyone contemplated the real meaning of the word ‘nyesom’? It means ‘give me and me alone…’..something like that. Let me be the center of gravity. Let the whole world flow to me, even my boss should gravitate to me! ‘Wike’ nko? Strong man of contention. That’s it. This is the man behind the cataclysm. At last the masquerade is bared, and humbled. Everyone that loves peace and due process had patiently waited for today. Our day is therefore made. Gbosa. Forward march Amaechi and Peterside. Gbam.
This is another victory for our democracy. It’s a popular knowledge that his was over rigged with a lot of discrepancies.
This should serve as a lesson for others who believe that they can do things and get away with it. Days of impunity are over.
There should also be a re-trial on Fayose’s case on rigging allegations in Ekiti State at the supreme court base on the new evidence that the solder – Captain Sagir Koli gave in 2014 and the audio message at that went viral on internet.
Weldone to the tribunal.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Must everybody be Apc members? Is democracy u guys must not forget.
We will review and take appropriate action.
