Breaking News: Wild Jubilation In Port Harcourt Over Nyesom Wike’s Supreme Court Victory

The capital city of Port Harcourt Rivers State is in wild jubilation over the Supreme Court victory of the Governor Nyesom Wike.

The Supreme Court had in its judgment this evening declared the governor as duly elected. The apex court which has reserved February 12 as the date to give its reason for the judgment has by today’s ruling put paid to the legal tussle that greeted the election of the Rivers state governor.

Both the Tribunal and Appeal court had ruled against the election of Nyesom Wike citing the non use of card readers among other issues as reasons for the nullification.

Nyesom Wike had appealed both judgments leading to the latest ruling of the Supreme Court which has authenticated his claim to the Rivers Brick House.

Residents of the city of Port Harcourt were seen in large numbers celebrating the victory of the state governor. Some were seen on top of car roofs while others were congratulating themselves.

We give Almighty God the glory for saving our state from blood bath”. He added.
