Tonye Cole, the Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) 2023 governorship candidate, on Monday night, assured his supporters that he would pursue his petition challenging the outcome of the March 18, 2023 governorship election to a logical conclusion.

Cole, who stated this on his social media handles, was reacting to the reported withdrawal of the APC from the petition challenging the victory of the candidate of the Peoples of Democratic Party (PDP), Similiayi Fubara as Rivers Governor-elect at the tribunal in Abuja.
