Rivers Guber Poll: Appeal Court Orders Tribunal to Deliver Rulings

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has ordered the Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal to deliver its rulings on the petitions filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the outcome of the 2019 governorship election in Rivers State.

The tribunal had been adjourned several times, and the parties had been waiting for the tribunal to deliver its rulings. The Appeal Court's order is seen as a major breakthrough in the long-standing dispute over the governorship election.

The APC and PDP had filed separate petitions challenging the victory of Governor Nyesom Wike of the PDP in the election. The APC had alleged widespread irregularities and violence during the election, while the PDP had accused the APC of trying to subvert the will of the people.

The tribunal had been expected to deliver its rulings on the petitions, but it had been unable to do so due to various reasons, including the absence of some members of the tribunal and the need for further investigations.

The Appeal Court's order is seen as a major boost to the parties involved in the dispute, as it will bring an end to the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the election. The order is also seen as a major victory for Governor Wike, who has been accused of rigging the election by his opponents.

The outcome of the tribunal's rulings will determine the fate of Governor Wike and the APC's candidate, Tonye Cole, who had been declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
