“You have played your part in this social contract. It is now my turn to continue to deliver. You have already witnessed unprecedented development, but that is just the beginning of our success story. This administration will make Rivers State the reference point of development projects in the country. I remain eternally grateful to you.”

A statement by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media noted that Governor Wike was accompanied on the tour by Senator George Sekibo, Senatorial Candidate for PDP in Rivers East Senatorial District, Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Austin Opara and Rivers State PDP chairman, Bro Felix Obuah.
Governor Wike’s meet the people victory parade took him to Borikiri and Diobu in Port Harcourt City. He also traversed Rumuokwuta and Rumuola in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
The governor appealed to the people of Rivers State to support all PDP candidates during the forthcoming rerun state and national Assembly elections.
The Supreme Court had on Wednesday, January 27 upheld the mandate of the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, thus, validating the result of the April 11 poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The apex court set aside judgments of both the Rivers state governorship election petition tribunal and that of the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal, which annulled Wike’s election.
According to Justice Kekere-Ekun who delivered the lead verdict, three separate appeals that were filed by Wike, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and INEC, were meritorious.
