Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State is seeking the help of the court to wrest the PDP presidential candidacy from Atiku Abubakar.

He has sued Abubakar, the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; and the PDP over the conduct of the presidential primary of the party that was held in Abuja on May 28 and May 29, 2022.

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/782/2022, Wike and a PDP chieftain, Newgent Ekamon, are listed as the plaintiffs, the Punch reports.

In the originating summons, the PDP is listed as the first respondent while the Independent National Electoral Commission is the 2nd respondent. Tambuwal and Atiku are listed as the 3rd and 4th respondents respectively.

During the PDP presidential primary, when aspirants were asked to address delegates, Tambuwal had asked them to vote for him only to return moments later to ask them to vote for Atiku.

At the primary, Atiku polled 371 votes while Wike and Bukola Saraki garnered 237 and 70 votes respectively. After the convention, the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, described Tambuwal as the “hero of the convention.”

In the originating summons, Wike and his co-applicant asked the court to determine eight issues including whether the purported transfer of Tambuwal’s votes to Atiku by the PDP was illegal and void.

The plaintiffs asked the court to determine if Tambuwal lost his claim to votes the moment he stepped down for Atiku.

He asked the court to determine whether Tambuwal “having stepped down during the primaries ought to lose his votes.”

Wike and Ekamon argued that should these issues be determined in their favour, the court should grant nine reliefs including a declaration that the purported transfer of Tambuwal’s votes to Atiku be declared null and void.

The plaintiffs are also seeking a declaration that the PDP acted negligently and in bad faith by assigning the Sokoto governor’s votes to Atiku at the primary.

They prayed the court to “cancel the transfer of votes and a corresponding order restraining the 3rd respondent (Tambuwal’s) withdrawal in the primary was done after voting had commenced.”

Ghen- Ghen ,There is Fire On The Mountain Governor ,Wike Ready to Sink PDP,

Ok

From wike the builder to wike the spoiler. Anyway, be Obidient

#Sigh# ...

A typical Nigerian politician who is ready to pull others down when the process did not favour them.

The way God wan use Take answer the Prayers of Common Nigerians .
Na confusion mood now.
We can't labour in vain at all.

God please increase the volume of confusion

Tambuwal played a dirty game and Wike should never forgive them. Everything is politics.
Wike deserve that ticket because he worked for it. Atiku's greediness will destroy the party.

One bad turn deserves another!

The vawulence havu started

The problem here I think is that Wike knows how to get what he wants in court


I am not saying he bribes judges o....except you want to say so

oya na

Well last last obi go get more decampees God please keep scattering dia camps nigeria must work again.

The road is getting clearer for Tinubu, all they have against Tinubu are always mere sentiments and rumours. Tinubu's work ethics is superb. After the primaries he placated his fellow candidates .
Labour party broke into 2 factions because of Obi and Atiku have been dragged to court by their rival for the party ticket.

I believe that God is working out modalities to reset Nigeria.
Who says a new Nigeria is not possible?
Wike carry on mbok, PDP and APC are very useless parties and God will definitely crash the evil parties for the sake of Nigerians.

In the meantime, I would implore our legal luminaries to enlight us on the envisaged outcome of this legal contest.

Modphase:
Nice one from Wike. Na only foolish Igbo go leave the fact that the Fulani that ruled for good 8 years non stop plan to continue ruling with Atiku but dead brain Igbos would rather complain about Tinubu.

I'm surprised you can't see how stewpid you are

I love this.

I swear his stewpidity his legendary. The federal government needs to do something urgently to enable these university students go back to school.

If due diligence is done in this case, it can change this “political-marketplace ideology” where politicians secure tickets to sell delegates.

I only wonder if our judiciary is ready for such a revolution, for I am ready.

P.s
The cost of tickets within the ruling party esp seems to connote awareness of jumbotron loot within the party structure.

THAT'S IT.
YOU SEE WHAT I AM SAYING?
THE LORD IS IN NIGERIA. AND NOW READY TO SAVE NIGERIA.

Nice approach.....to bad rubbish...

Atiku should reap where he sowed (Dubai)....say No to rigging...otherwise let him defend himself in court...period

Nevertheless...I support Nigeria's progress with Peter Obi Labour Party

Realist12:
The road is getting clearer for Tinubu, all they have against Tinubu are always mare sentiments and rumours. Tinubu's work ethics is superb. After the primaries he placated his fellow candidates .

It's to obi benefit if you don't know

OBI-dient family are grateful to Wike

lol he do lose woefully in the court of justice too. Wike will be disgrace and shamed woefully in the court of justice.

I don't understand what he's asking the court to do.

How can he prove that any of those who voted for atiku initially intended to vote for tambuwal, or that tambuwal even had any votes to begin with?

I'm obidient

The Wicked Wike...
The original guy with Bini blood!
Scatter everything and show them shege!

You don't step down during the voting process. You step down or withdraw before the voting has started. And you can't transfer votes. It is not done anywhere. I hope the court grants wike's request immediately.

I'm surprised you can't know how stewpid you are
