A governorship aspirant of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers, Bernard Mikko has asked court to disqualify the party’s governorship candidate for the state’s 2023 governorship election, Tonye Cole.

Mikko in the lawsuit is seeking to restrain Tonye Cole from parading himself as the governorship candidate of the APC arguing his emergence did not comply with the Electoral Act and fraught with irregularities.

Mikko, who ed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, also alleged that Cole is of questionable character as was allegedly indicted in a Rivers Government gazette issued after investigation by the State Judicial Commission of Inquiry on the sale of government assets.

A house divided against itself can not stand. APC may lose in Rivers in 2023.

I love any crisis in APC, I pray it consumes them

APC in rivers state have get another problem again. They will find it difficult to solve their issues till 2023 poll.

This APC party is like a battleground for all it's

Wahal no too much?

Wike and Magnus Abe wants to do abracadabra again through the court

E don be for Cole, Amaechi and Rivers APC be that!

As long as this case will be filed and heard in a Port Harcourt Court, in Wike's Courts, then it's another season of no APC candidate looming.

APC can never get any judgement favourable to them, in a Port Harcourt Court.

APC can't even convince a Judge in Port Harcourt that humans breathe in oxygen.

Ojukaye Flag Amachree, that dude really flipped on Amaechi big time.

Like Chidi Lloyd.

Wow..

Judiciary State of Rivers

Leave tonye Cole alone. Every time they want to do nonsense. if u serve the people well u shouldn't be afraid of decent elections.

There is no house divided against itself.

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has laid all APC issues to rest.

What we have here is a Magnus Abe who is capitalizing on Wike's willingness to continue to suppress APC; to continue to cause problems despite losing everything at the Supreme Court.

Dead on arrival, the election followed due process, delegates election was held successfully, inec monitored the election.

Bernard should mention the irregularities that marred the election, 2019 it was form not issued, 2023 everyone was given form, screened etc

APC is headed towards self implosion.
