The Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Port Harcourt, the state capital has affirmed Governor Nyesom Wike victory in the March 9 election.
The Tribunal dismissed the petition by the Action Democratic Party, ADP and its Governorship candidate, Victor Fingesi in the poll.
The ADP was challenging the victory of the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the election at the Tribunal.
Justice Kingsley A. Ojiako who led the three man petition tribunal panel sacked the petition today for lacking in merit.
Fingesi and his party alleged that governorship election did not hold in the state, following widespread violence, which was confirmed by a statement signed and circulated by the Independent National Election Commission, INEC, urging the court to nullify the entire election.
