The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Nyesom Wike as governor of Rivers State. The court will give reasons for its decision of February 12.
The Court of Appeal had on December 16 affirmed the judgment of the Rivers Governorship Election Tribunal.
The appeal court had ruled that Mr. Wike was not validly elected.
The Rivers Tribunal had earlier on October 24 nullified Mr. Wike’s election.
The tribunal, which delivered its ruling in Abuja, also ordered that a fresh governorship election be conducted in the state.
After the tribunal’s ruling, the governor headed to the Court of Appeal, saying the judgment was untenable.
The petition challenging the election of Mr. Wike as Rivers State Governor was filed by Dakuku Peterside, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the election.
The Rivers governorship election, which was criticised by local and international observers, witnessed the largest amount of violence both in its build-up and after the election. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeletePdp power
ReplyDeleteAPC influenced the tribunal and the appeal court, but could not do likewise at the Apex court due to the disposition of the judges, being the final arbiters . God gave justice to wike and the good people of Rivers state . Bloodbath averted! . Only console with the senators, house of representatives and assembly members who suffered this injustice because there was no opportunity to go to the supreme court. With Wike as the governor, the people will still return all of you back to your positions forcefully and illegally taken away by men of power. It is well
ReplyDeleteWhen there is oppression of the poor in the land and violent perversion of justice in a province and no one regarded, marvel not, for there is a God who regarded! Eccles 5:8. This is truly a finger of God.Davis Ikanga, Chris finebone, the loquacious talkatives where art though.

ReplyDeleteThose who said Buhari will influence the court should cover their head in shame. How much were they paid for this judgement?
ReplyDeleteSo Buhari now follows rule of law only when it favours PDP?
ReplyDeleteIt is time the judiciary become free and independent. Politicians should stop allegedly influencing judgement. It is s receipe for for anarchy. Thump up for this.
