The All Progressives Congress, APC gubernatorial 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.

BONA NAIJA learnt 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.
