Supreme Court judgment, a judicial gang-up – Wike

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has described all the judgements against him as a “Judicial gang-up”.

Governor Wike said this in reaction to the Supreme Court judgment that struck-out his appeal against the territorial jurisdiction of the Rivers State elections petition tribunal.

The Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Tariah in a statement obtained by DAILY POST accused the former Governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi of masterminding the resolutions of the judges.

Inko-Tariah wondered why Amaechi had suddenly become the beneficiary of the judgments despite what he did to the Judiciary during his last years as Governor of the state.

He said, “To say the list, we are surprised at the judgement of the Supreme Court. As at that time the tribunal were set, the Federal High Court and the Appeal court were sitting in Port Harcourt.

“How can former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi who rubbished the judiciary be a beneficiary of the Judiciary.

“The plan is to subvert the will of the people who freely gave their mandate to Governor Nyesom Wike.

“What has happened can be best described as a judicial gang-up or judicial terrorism against Governor Wike.”
