'SUPREME COURT VERDICT, 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 reporters 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.
