The reports reaching us is that the; Tribunal sitting over the Governorship Elections in Rivers State have delivered it's Judgement earlier today.
According to reports of the Tribunal's Judgement; the Governorship Elections which earlier held and which was declared to have being won by the present Governor Wike Onyesom under the platform of the PDP was marred by election violence and irregularities and hence is nullified by the judgement.
The tribunal gave the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) 90 (Ninety) days to conduct a fresh election in Rivers state of Nigeria.
However, it can be gathered and assumed from the provisions of Section 143 of the Electoral Law that; Governor Wike Onyesom may remain in office as the Governor of Rivers State during the conduct of the Governorship elections as ordered by the tribunal, should incase he files a notice of appeal against the tribunal's decision within 21 days.
