WIKE Influenced Supreme Court Judgment On Rivers Election --peterside by Kyase(m): 8:43pm On Feb 09, 2016 |
Accuses him of holding secret meetings with judges before verdict His allegation,aimed at inciting presidency against Riverspeople-Wike The last is yet to be heard about the concluded litigation on the Rivers State governorship election as Honourable Dakuku Peterside of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) hasaccused Governor Nyesom Wike of influencing the outcome of the judgment of the Supreme Court.Peterside, who was the APC governorship candidate in the 2015 election, made the accusation while addressing a press conference at the party state secretariat, Port Harcourt,on Tuesday.However, Governor Wike said the essenceof Peterside's allegations were aimed to further incite the presidency and the Nigerian Armed Forces against the people of Rivers State and the entire Niger Delta region.Addressing newsmen, lateTuesdayevening, the state Commissioner for Information, Mr Austin Tam-George, also said the allegation was "a cynical reaction to his electoral and judicial defeats. He surely would not win any victory by diverting attention."It would be recalled that the apex court had, on January 27, 2016, upturned the verdicts of both the election petitions tribunal and the Court of Appeal which nullified the then disputed governorship election in the state and upheld Wike as the winner.Peterside also accused the governor, with his recent comments, of becoming a threat to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and also warned himto desist from insulting President Muhammadu Buhari and the security agencies.The APC governorship candidate said, although he had accepted the apex court ruling, the utterances of Governor Wike, especially his statement at a thanksgiving service, last Sunday, had seemingly gave credence to doubt being expressed in the public space about the judgment."Many a Nigerian continues to wonder why the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) andGovernor Wike’s supporters went on wild celebration across Rivers State, as early as9amon the day of judgment even if the actual verdict was handed down at about6:20pmof that day."It clearly suggests that they might have been in the know of what the judgment would be long before the Supreme Court pronounced it."This is coupled with several comments, especially on the social media some three weeks earlier, such as “Thank God there will now be no need for a rerun election.....It is surely ending at the Supreme Court, etc, etc."Credible information confirmed that Nyesom Wike had earlier confessed to some persons of having met one of the justices of the Supreme Court in Mbaise during an important burial, another at Owerri in a hotel and yet others in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, respectively. These justices were in the panel that decided the matter in Wike's favour", he said."However, the most striking revelation by Nyesom Wike is contained in his account atthe thanksgiving service last Sunday. He obviously stunned his audience and the watching world when he confessed that when it came to the judges, Dr Peter Odili and the wife, Justice Mary Odili (a justice of the Supreme Cout), were his advisers."This simply confirmed his earlier statements that he had contact with the justices, after several attempts to reach the Chief Justice of the country failed."It is therefore obvious that the decision of the Supreme Court on the Rivers State election was not a product of justice, but rather a product of compromise and orchestrated contrivance to legalise electoral violence and rigging and, in turn, reward injustice. This calls for serious introspection by our judiciary and judicial officers", he said.He also described as a threat to INEC and 'others' the governor's warning that anybody who planned to rig the forthcoming rerun elections in the state would be treated as armed robbers.He said, despite his having accepted the Supreme Court judgment but with mixed feelings, Governor Wike, while addressing civil servants in the state, after the verdict, allegedly threatened to deal with INEC personnel in the state in respect of the rerun election. http://tribuneonlineng.com/node/29946 Lalasticala, mynd44 |

Kyase:Thought it was all made up but with this reply by Wike,i am having second thoughts. Wike might have been told of the error he made in the euphoria of his victory celebration,probably inebriated with too much exotic wine. Now in his sober state and the speech having been leaked by some people, he is trying damage control. If in a weeks time there is no leak of the video or audio , then I wud accept it was all made up,but something tells me Wike did bribe those justices using Odili and his Supreme Court judge as the go betweens. 1 Like |

What's the reason for all these statements now? What are the both parties hoping to achieve? Wike isn't stepping down, Peterside isn't ascending. 1 Like |

an illiterate staying in the forest know that the judgment is a rape of justice,governor wike bought his victory through the judges in which the tribunal &appeal court hv clearly play there own part of putting a stop to electoral violence &malpractices,many lost their loved one&some was inflicted with life time injury, many was chase out of their community all in the name of politics &it's unfair, this judgment is a quota from the judiciary to legalise electoral violence &unbalances in our electoral processes |

If Dakuku is convinced that the Supreme court judges can be bribed, then its because he bribed the tribunal and appeal court judges and he feels, Wike did same! 1 Like |
