– Dakuku Peterside accepted the verdict of the Supreme Court
– He noted that the blood of those who were killed during election in the state will demand for justice
Dakuku Peterside, the Rivers state governorship candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that the blood of those who were
killed during election in the state will demand for justice.
Leadership reports that Peterside said this on Saturday, January 30, while addressing supporters of the APC who were at the Port Harcourt International Airport, to receive him on his arrival from Abuja.
Speaking about the Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold the election of Governor Nyesom Wike, the APC candidate said:
“We are not deterred, we are not dismayed. Our first position is that we have accepted the verdict of the Supreme Court, if though, with some form of reservations. But, we have not alternative. So, that verdict has been accepted but we also know that the blood of all those people who were killed on the 11th of April; all those people who were killed will be crying for justice.
“You may have gotten the judgement of man, but wait for the judgement of God. In the judgement of God, there is no appeal. So, please, don’t be discouraged; you have always known that we are greater together. One thing is definite, and the only thing we are certain about is that God’s judgment is coming and when it comes, there is not any man can do about it.
“We have not heard the end of this matter. If you serve a living God, you have no cause to worry, unless nobody died in the cause of the election, unless they did not use violence on our people, unless, the did not soil their hands, then, they will go scot free. But if they killed one life, if they killed people, if people died, if blood was spilled in his land, nobody who had a hand in it, who participated in the meeting will ever go scot free.”
Speaking earlier, Peterside had promised to offer help to the government of Wike through the provision of virile opposition. He also expressed hope that the Rivers state governor and his team would appreciate the suggestions and proposals that were made in the interest of people of the state.
