Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on the validation of his election by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

In a statement on Wednesday, Governor Wike urged President Muhammadu Buhari to use his victory to work for all Nigerians, irrespective of their political leanings.

Governor Wike called on the President to work towards the unity of the country, noting that the country is divided.

Recall that the presidential election tribunal has dismissed the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Buhari in a statement acknowledging his victory at the tribunal disclosed that the victory is for all Nigerians who voted overwhelmingly for him.

According to him, “Good conscience fears no evil report. I was unperturbed all along, because I knew Nigerians freely gave us the mandate. We are now vindicated,” he declared.
