Governorship Candidate Withdraws Congratulatory Message To Tinubu

 

The All Progressives Congress, APC gobernatorial candidate in Rivers State, Tonye Cole has deleted a post on his verified Facebook page congratulating the president-elect, Bola Tinubu over his victory at the Saturday’s presidential election.

Gists9ja reports that following the declaration of Bola Tinubu as winner of the just concluded presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mr. Cole posted a congratulatory message for Tinubu on his verified Facebook page.

The post, however, received attacks from commenters believed to be supporters of Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, LP.

It was reported on Friday that the post has been deleted after the backlash from Obidients who believe that the presidential poll was rigged in the state.

There are indications that Cole may be expecting large votes from LP supporters who are angered by the alleged rigging of the presidential poll.
