You cannot blackmail him to go for an unnecessary re-run because he is popular even when he won the elctions!! Why dont you people also asl Ajimobi,Ambode etc to withdraw their defence from the tribunals and go for a re-run since you think they are popular in their states!! The law has given Wike the chance to appeal to the supreme court and he is going to toe that line so STFU

The Plateau State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal has affirmed the victory of Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State in the April 11 governorship poll. Gyang Pwajok of the Peoples Democratic Party and his party had dragged Lalong of the All Progressives Congress, before the tribunal, alleging irregularities in the April poll, asking the panel to nullify the election and declare Pwajok the winner. The tribunal, which ruled on the petition some minutes ago in Jos, the state capital, dismissed the petitioners’ petition for lacking in merit. Security operatives, which said they were acting on the order of the panel, had earlier barred journalists from entering the court room. No reason was given for the action. Details later…

Embattled former Governor of Rivers State,
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has written a letter to
the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, urging him
to discard the White Paper issued on his
indictment by Rivers State Government.
In the letter, a copy of which was obtained by
THISDAY yesterday, Amaechi claimed that he
was innocent of the allegations of corruption
for which he had been indicted by the Judicial
Commission of Inquiry chaired by Justice G.O.
Omereji.
The letter, signed by his counsel, Edward
Pepple and dated October 12, 2015 further
stated that the Supreme Court had emphasised
in a case involving former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar "that an indictment by judicial
commission of inquiry or administrative panel
is not an 'indictment' or sufficient for the
purpose of preventing a person from holding a
public office."
The letter added: “Section 182(1)(i) only
enables a judicial commission of inquiry or
administrative tribunal to determine the
culpability of a citizen where it is alleged that
such citizen has been in breach of standards of
behaviour expecting in public life.
"Where such inquiry finds a citizen liable or
culpable of a conduct bordering on criminality
and the federal or state government accepts
such a report through a published white paper,
it is still not enough to deny a citizen eligibility
to the office of governor unless and until he is
afterwards prosecuted in a court of law and
found guilty.
"Mr. President, we have no doubt that the
Senate being an arm of government
established under the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria verily appreciates
the general principle of the rule of law, hence
the invitation extended to our client to respond
to the petition.
"Whereas we appreciate the commitment of
the Senate to be fair and just, especially in
offering our client an opportunity to state his
side of the matter, however, we need to state,
and most regrettably too, that our client is
unable to comment or respond in specific
terms to the allegations contained in the said
petition as that would amount to commenting
on the subject matter before the court of law."
While urging the Senate president to ignore his
indictment, Amaechi said one of the cardinal
principles of fair hearing is that an accused
person is presumed innocent he is proved
guilty.
He also claimed that his position is
strengthened by Section 36 of the Constitution
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as
amended) adding that the allegations are not
only false but "also made mala fide with the
intent to solely irritate, embarrass and tarnish
the hard earned reputation of our client and
maliciously represent him as a person not fit
and proper to occupy public office."
Amaechi also claimed that if the intention of
the petitioners was genuine there would not
have been any need to petition the Senate
having earlier petitioned the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the
Independent Corrupt Practices and Other
Related offence Commission (ICPC) over the
same matter.
The letter added: "We wish to re-emphasis that
our client is always ready, usually enthusiastic
and desirous of defending himself at all times,
however we have implored and advised him
that he is restrained at this time, most
regrettably, from commenting on the content
of that petition, which is the subject matter
before the courts of law. He is therefore not in
a position to respond to the petition, issue by
issue before the distinguished Senate.
"In the circumstance therefore, we urge you
with utmost respect to discard the malicious
petition intended to disparage and malign our
client’s reputation and misrepresent him
before the distinguished senators and the
nation and create the wrong impression that
our client is not a fit and proper person to
occupy public office. He is a fit a proper person
to occupy any position in this country. He is
capable mentally and physically."
