The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State in the 2023 general elections, Tonye Cole, has described the process that led to the emergence of Siminalayi Fubara as governor was “a stolen mandate”.
Cole made this allegation on Thursday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.
He said until stolen mandates and the way elections are run are addressed, the problems between Fubara and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike will remain because Wike did everything to make him governor.
“The process that brought out governor was live on TV. Everybody saw it, and it was as best as I can describe. It is a very, very stolen mandate, but I don’t cry over it.
“The Court declared him winner, regardless of how he came about. And so he is the legitimate governor of Rivers state, regardless of the foundation that brought him in.
“Now that foundation in itself is what is causing all the problem, and until they go back to address stolen mandates, the way elections are run, the way you change results, so that whoever won lost, and whoever lost won, until all that is addressed, will continue to have this kind of problems.
“So that problem between Fubara and Wike is going to remain. Their challenge is that you came out, and you know that I did everything to bring you out, and then you turn your back at me. That’s the problem,” he said.
