In October 2007, the Supreme Court of Nigeria removed Celestine Omehia as governor of Rivers State and ordered that Rotimi Amaechi be sworn in instead.

This was due to Rotimi’s unjust removal from the ballot paper by INEC after he had won the PDP primaries in December 2006.

According to INEC, he was removed due to an indictment or accusation of corruption by the federal government. The Supreme Court later deemed it as invalid.

Amaechi became governor without campaigning.

Is this a miracle or an oracle?

And same law on which the judgement was premised has now been rendered obsolete in 2023.
