Rivers APC governorship candidate in the last elections in the state – Arch. Tonye Cole says they are in the process of filing an appeal over the ruling of the Elections Tribunal.
The tribunal in its ruling few days ago dismissed Cole’s petitions challenging the victory of Sim Fubara of the PDP
Cole when he appeared on Channels TV Politics Today with Seun last night said he does not agree with the ruling of the Tribunal and would see out the case despite suggestions from people for him to withdraw his petition.
On the position of Amaechi on happenings in the party: Cole said Amaechi is yet to say a word as he wants to be left alone for now, adding that he has no issue with the former Transport Minister whom he described as leader of the party.
He also said he has no issues with Magnus Abe, Dakuku Peterside and the FCT Minister – Nyesom Wike as perceived in some quarters.
On Wike Joining the party: Cole said Wike is still a card carrying member of the PDP and has not officially joined the APC.
He stated that as at Today, if Wike comes to a meeting of the party, he would be asked to leave as he is not yet a member.
Furthermore, he said whether the case goes his way or not, he would remain in the party and continue to grow it in preparation for the 2027 elections.
