I'm happy you saying this @Wike. It seems out judiciary is waking up from its slumber..

If the verdict were to go against you now, you will blame my President abd claim he's about running one party system but now it goes to your favor you know the judiciary is your last hope. If only this will help you sadits see my President in his true nature which is to put Nigeria on the right track. Congrats though

Judiciary should be strengthen in this country.

"The Supreme Court is the only hope we have in the country. There if the judiciary crumbles, the nation will crumble. The tribunal aired her opinion, the Appeal Court aired her opinion while the Supreme Court delivered judgment based on the constitution and the Electoral Act", Governor Wike said.

Hence the need for the judiciary to always asserts its independence and not be a tool in the hands of the executive, politicians, those corrupt and wicked individuals that love to subvert justice.

Is he indirectly saying rivers people should have no hope in his executive government. I hope he knows the meaning of only hope.
