Wike Raises Alarm: Judiciary Is Ganging Up Against Me

Governor Nyesom Wike has raised an alarm over what he called judicial gang up to wrestle power from him at all costs.

Reacting to the nullification of his election by the Election Petition Tribunal and confirmation of same by the Supreme Court yesterday, Wike said this is a gang up against him and the people of the state.

According to him, the judiciary is setting a dangerous precedent in the country with the way it had gone about elections in Rivers state.

In a statement in Port Harcourt, his special adviser on media and publicity, Opunabo Nko-Tariah alleged that there had been  effort to wrestle power from Wike through the back door and that legal steps will be taken to defend the mandate of the people displayed in the April 11 general election.

“What is going on right now can best be described as judicial gang-up against Governor Wike, nay, the people of Rivers State. It is an affront on democracy and a blight disregard for the will of the people as evinced in the April 11 general elections.

“The courts are setting pernicious precedents by hinging their verdicts on inane points. Rivers people overwhelmingly gave their mandate to Governor Wike but a microscopic few want to wrest that mandate from him through the back door.” [myad]
