Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, whose election as Chief Executive of Rivers State was annulled on Saturday by the Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja, has alleged the payment of N23 billion bribe to tribunal judges by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to nullify the election of all South-South states governors – all of them members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He wrote on his Facebook wall over the weekend: “Election petition tribunal was directed to nullify the election of all South-South states governors. A total of N23 billion was paid to the tribunal judges by APC. They are to pass the order that the election did not comply substantially with election guidelines and order INEC to conduct election within 90 days.

“How can a party win all Senate seats, all House of Representatives seats, all State Assembly, 97% votes in presidential election and they could tell the public that the party did not win the governorship?
“Keep calm, we must appeal.”

Wike at his level should realise that you don't just throw allegations into the air. If the PDP had proof of anything they won't even wait for the verdict. Was it a hidden fact that he made efforts to see the CJN for whatever reason. Where is it done that a sitting governor having a pending case b4 the electoral tribunal will actually make moves up to the CJN's office to meet with him and to back with up with a shameless excuse when caught in the act.
