The Court of Appeal has sacked Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
The court which affirmed the judgment of the Rivers Governorship Election Tribunal, said Wednesday that Wike was not validly elected.
The petition challenging the election of Wike as Rivers State Governor was filed by Dakuku Peterside, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, in the election.
The Rivers Tribunal had earlier on October 24 nullified Wike’s election.
The tribunal, which delivered its ruling in Abuja, also ordered that a fresh governorship election be conducted in the state.
