Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has commended the Judiciary for reinstating Eyitayo Jegede as the PDP candidate for Ondo State governorship election.
This is
contained in a statement signed by Mr Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant
to the governor and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.
Wike
advised Nigerians not to lose hope in the judiciary no matter the level
of attacks on judicial officers by the powers that be.
He added that no matter the level of
intimidation by the powers that be, there are resilient judicial
officers, who would always enthrone the rule of law in the country.
The
governor urged the people of Ondo State to vote massively for Eyitayo
Jegede to enable him continue with the `giant developmental strides’ of
outgoing Gov. Olusegun Mimiko.
“I wish Eyitayo Jegede the PDP candidate, the best in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
“Ondo people know that Eyitayo Jegede is their candidate and only hope to continue the good works of Gov. Mimiko.
“There have been pressures to make sure PDP scatters so that at the end of the day, PDP will not have a candidate in Ondo state.
“The
Judiciary is the last hope of the common man and they have justified it
today; we believe that PDP has come to stay and the party will be more
united," Wike said.
