Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, has confirmed that Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike actually visited his office at the Supreme Court Complex in Abuja twice this month.

Mohammed however said the governor did not meet him on seat during the visits.

Wike was said to have visited the office of the CJN incognito on the day the Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, sitting in Abuja, conducted hearing into an application filed by Wike to challenge an order permitting his opponent to inspect the electoral materials used for the poll that brought him to office.

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in the last election, Dakuku Peterside is currently challenging Wike’s victory at the tribunal.

Reacting to the development, Ahuraka Isah, media aide to the CJN said he was not around to receive or have an audience with the governor on both occasions.

He explained that on the first visit by the governor, the CJN was away in Saudi Arabia observing the Lesser Hajj while during Wike’s second visit, the Nigeria’s number one judicial officer was also at a meeting of the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee, where candidates shortlisted for the rank of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, were being interviewed.

According to a statement by the aide, “Our attention has been drawn to reports that the Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike had met with the Honourable, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed, GCON during one of his visits to the office of the CJN on July 6 and July 8 this year.

“However, we would not have ordinarily wished to react to such stories except for the erroneous impression it may cast in the mind of the public. We wish to state with all emphasis that the CJN at no time had an audience with Governor Wike. This includes before, on and after the said date.

“For further clarification, during the week of the purported first visit by Governor Wike on July 6, 2015, his Lordship was away in Saudi Arabia performing Umrah. On the date of the alleged second visit, which was on Wednesday July 8, 2015, the CJN was in court observing the interview of shortlisted applicants for the award of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

“A senior official in the CJN chamber intercepted Governor Wike and advised that it is a policy of the CJN not to entertain visits of politicians, especially those with cases in the courts.

“Consequently, Governor Wike left at that point, even though he tried to state reasons for his visit, which included the issue of the appointment of substantive Chief Judge for his state and to thank the CJN for sending the Bayelsa State Chief Judge to swear him into the office.
“In fact, his Lordship was not even aware of the visit until the next morning. The CJN therefore did not see the governor as reported in the said dailies.”
The CJN also assured the people of Rivers State and Nigerians that he “is veritably committed to upholding the integrity, neutrality and independence of our Judiciary”.

“This is a responsibility, which we hold dear and will not shirk,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, governor Wike had denied that his visit had anything to do with his case pending before the tribunal.

I am not surprised that APC lied against Wike, that's what they know how to do best - LIES AND PROPAGANDA.

They claimed they won election clean and clear yet everyday they keep running from one church to another. From one juju house to another. From one court to another. From Judge to another. From one Inec officer to another. From one tribunal chairman to CJN etc.

You and your 'elder' brother are always idle? What a family!

Wike is desperate, running heltah Skeltah for help, but he'll get none. Parade has changed gear. Soon, he'll be removed by the tribunals.

Why DOES everyone think I own the FREEEMANAN handle. I don't. He is an elder cousin who shares the same name...

TheSonOfMark:

Yet they avoid FACTUAL evidence of there being underage voting (ILLEGAL voting) in the North.

The population census is around the corner and they'd inflate figures in their arid region.

Ain't if funny how they call this past election a free and fair election with all the illegalities immersed in it?

jokers, is what i call that propaganda party.

Dharniel:

Ya

rivers state election took place in rivers and not Abuja. What is river's state election tribunal doing in Abuja? Apc want to manipulate the tribunal, therefore wike shouldn't fold his hands and watch them. He should continue to monitor everything.

Wike will soon dance kedike out of office
Watch this space

And how is this news?

Hmmm

Bribery and gratification is an offense under this government... be warned!

Hmmm....looks like some stuff is going on.....hmmmm
