The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, claimed that the governorahip candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Tonye Cole, is under investigation for alleged defrauding the state of $50m.
He explained that voting for Cole to become governor of the states would halt the investigation, as a governor is immune from arrest or prosecution in Nigeria.
Wike spoke while speaking at Egbeda community during the inauguration of the Akpabu-Egbeda-Omoku Link Road in Emohua Local Government Area of the state on Friday.
