people  of  the 
state  that he will use all
constitutional processes to protect the 
mandate they freely bestowed on him, hence his decision  to 
approach the  Supreme Court for
further adjudication.

that he still remains  the  duly elected governor  of 
Rivers State  pending the  determination 
of  his appeal  by the Supreme Court.
