Oh no we have lost an oil rich state - APC Chairman

The All Progressive Congress Chairman Chief John Oyegun has called for a probe of all the Supreme Court Judges that ruled and upheld the election of Governor Wike.He made the call when the Rivers state chapter of the APC lead by the Peter-side paid him a courtesy visit.He lamented how they had serious hope in getting back the oil rich state.

“The APC National leadership has not neglected party leaders and supporters in Rivers State. The state has always been in the front burner of discussion and decision in the party. There is obviously something fundamentally wrong in Rivers State which needs to be investigated and addressed.

“Your visit has had a sober effect on me. This meeting will kickstart urgent actions to address what went wrong. As of today, there is an attempt being made by INEC to bar us from elections in Anambra and other states. We must address these issues. I still find the judgement on the Rivers State governorship election totally astonishing. There is something fundamentally wrong in the judiciary.

“We have lost very important resource-rich states to the PDP. No matter how crude oil prices have fallen, it is still the most important revenue earner for the country.

“I will take up your request to facilitate a meeting with the President. We will do that as soon as possible and also make it clear that there are problems which as a party, we must address.”Oyegun said.
