Wike Disowns Suit against Atiku’s Candidacy

Rivers State Governor, Mr Nyesom Wike few moments ago (Friday) distanced himself from a purported suit said to have been filed by him seeking the removal of Atiku Abubakar as presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in next year’s general election.

This comes few hours after some media outfits had reported that Wike had ordered the removal of PDP flags in Rivers State government house, which also turned out to be false.

In an exclusive chat with THISDAY, the Governor denied knowing anything whatsoever about the purported suit or even knowing the lawyers who filed the suit in the first instance. “I don’t know anything about the so called suit. I did not ask anyone to file any suit for me”

The media was on Friday morning awash with reports that Governor Wike and one Chieftain of the PDP, Mr Newgent Ekamon, had dragged the PDP to court seeking the removal of Atiku as Candidate of the PDP in next year’s presidential polls.

According to the purported suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/782/2022, the plaintiffs were said to have hinged their claims on the grounds that the PDP primary conferred undue advantage on Atiku which aided his emergence as candidate of the PDP in the May 28 and 29 primary.

Reacting to the publication, Wike flatly denied the suit said to have been filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja. He described the suit as the handiwork of mischief makers who merely want to use him to score cheap political goals.

He stated emphatically, “I don’t know the lawyers”. Continuing, he said, “am I a kid to be filing a suit at this time. I had 14 days after the primary within which to have filed any suit. I didn’t do that then, is it two months after primary I will file a suit?

He also recalled that, “just yesterday they came up with the claim that I ordered my Chief Security Officer to pull down PDP flag in Government House. This is all false, it’s all propaganda. Some people are trying to use me to win the election. Please disregard all these lies”.

We know where the fake news came from. We know their way. They are desperadoes.
We know their mode of operation. Fake news is their logo.
We know their news paper. They have destroyed Nigeria for 8yrs.
They are pushing another unfit leader and divisive partnership.

Our nation is in coma.
Handing over a sick nation to an unfit person is haram.
Handing over a diverse nation as Nigeria to a man with war mongering partnership is haram.
Vote wisely.

Wahala for politicians wey no get sense

Wike don't have sense..

They have been using is outburst for political propaganda, you lost, accept your lost and strategize, as if the delegates that voted Atiku are ghosts.

I commend waziri for not picking this turtle man as VP, talks too much..

Rivers State presidential is between PDP and LP, weather he likes it or not, Apc strong men in Rivers are gone.

If you remove Magnus Abe,finebone from Apc in Rivers, wetin come remain..and Amaechi body language should give you a clue.

The one above me stole my FTC

One Wike is one Trouble

H

Wike and Atiku should stop polluting the cyberspace with their issues...


Every other party has gone beyond their primaries except pdp. As it stand now Atiku only votes seems to be his core north side even Delta state is not sure for him again.

This is getting interesting

If you no romance dem, opportunity to use you no go dey....Wike should pick a struggle and let his people know where he stands

Conflict of interest,doesn't mean they cannot dine on the same table just a normal election drama

Hmmm, politics and politicians!!!

Lol. Pitobi heading nowherr

Wike my Godfather
The C and C of Vawulence Republic.

My Mentor

Tired of this politics of a thing.

Agbado urchins

Confusion everywhere. One don't know who to believe again. In fact, I will stop reading Nigeria newspapers from today and concentrate on TV only

k

Na dem, we sabi their handwork

Wike
Wike

Wike

Atiku we know.
PDP 2023

No matter what happens Wike will never leave PDP, instead he'll work with Peter Obi he's just using APC governors to attract more attention.

Wike is getting back to his sense gradually. He will work for Atiku. He should no tow the Obi path by throwing the baby away with bath water. We lose some and we win some.
