The Supreme Court on Friday
upheld the election of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
It upheld two appeals filed by
Wike against the decisions of the Court of Appeal which had upturned the
dismissal of a petition filed by the African Action Congress, AAC, and its
candidate in the 2019 governorship election, Awara Biokpomabo Festus.
In two unanimous judgments, a
seven-man panel of the apex court upheld the two appeals by Wike on the grounds
that they were meritorious.
The ruling was delivered by
Justice Ejembi Eko.
The appeals were against the decisions
of the Court of Appeal, reversing two decisions of the Rivers State
Governorship Election Tribunal.
