YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO DISQUALIFY ARCH TONYE COLE ON THE GROUND OF DOUBLE CITIZENSHIP ACCORDING TO THE LAW...SAYS IFEANYI DIKE Esq :MEMBIS247

PRESS RELEASE.

GentleMen of the press, recall that the people Democratic Party filed a suit at the federal High Court, Port Harcourt division  seeking the disqualification of our Governorship Candidate, Arch Tonye Cole on the ground, among others,  that our candidate is a citizen of United Kingdom, 

Recall also that today Hon. Justice E.A Obile of the Federal High Court 2, Port Harcourt  entered judgement in favour of the PDP and against us and in the judgement, disqualified our candidate from participating in 2023 elections. 

While we are bound by the judgement of the court, pending appeal, we wish to retaliate that our candidate is qualified to contest the said elections because  section 182 (1) (a) of the 1999 constitution under which the court reached the decision does not disqualify a person who has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of another country or who has made a declaration of allegiance provided that such a person is a citizen of Nigeria by birth.  This is so because  section 182(1)(a) of the 1999 constitution is made subject to section 28 of the same constitution. 

Tonye Cole is a Nigerian citizen by birth and is therefore qualified like every other Nigerians, to contest elections.  

We have therefore  set in motion the process to challenge the judgement on appeal immediately and we are very confident that justice will be done. We urge our teaming supporters and party faithful to remain calm and confident while we pursue justice in this and other matters. 

In all, we wish to assure  our supporters that our great party, the All Progressive Congress will be on the ballot and will win the 2023 elections in Rivers State. 

Thank you and God bless

Signed.

STATE LEGAL ADVISER.

THE MAN WITH NO FRIEND ON THE JOURNEY TO POLITICAL CLIMATE:Membis247

One man brought Modi Sheriff as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.  This same man brought Uche Secondus as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.  The same man actively supported Iyorcha Ayu as National Chairman of PDP. When he realized that Ayu would not work for his agenda, he started fighting him to be removed. And once again, Ayu had to go for peace to reign.  Same man Brought Sim Fubara as his successor and is now fighting him.  Only one man bringing people and fighting them.  Once you do not exist to serve his agenda and ambition, you are useless to him, and he will start fighting you.  Someone that was in his mid-30s when he was handpicked by Peter Odili to be an aide and later a Local Government Chairman now refers to Odili and his wife as “one man and woman”.
