Supreme Court Dismisses Wike’s Suit Against Tribunal by midolian(op): 10:49am On Oct 27, 2015
The supreme court has dismissed the suit of Nyesom Wike, Rivers state governor, who challenged the jurisdiction of the Rivers governorship election petition tribunal to hear a petition by Dakuku Peterside of All Progressives Congress (APC).

Wike had argued that the tribunal sitting in Abuja had no jurisdiction over matters that transpired in the state.

His contention is that the tribunal should have sat in Rivers state and not in Abuja.

The tribunal was moved to Abuja over for security concerns, as those of  Akwa I‎bom, Yobe, Adamawa and Borno.

The appeal court had earlier ruled that the tribunal could sit in Abuja to handle Rivers election petitions.

The Rivers tribunal had last Saturday sacked Wike as governor of the state, and ordered that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) hold a fresh election within 90 days.

Pa Chukwudi44 attention is urgently needed!
Wike should stop seeking refuge where there is none. He should go back home and canvas for votes in the rerun. The handwriting is on the wall. We are getting Rivers.

Wailers Food is Ready oooo. Chukwuddi shifted goal post to supreme court,ball don enter net so where is the next goal post? grin grin grin

Everyone claims wike is going to win a re-run forgetting that Nigerian politics is very fickle,people change camps overnight. You cant destroy the law and go Scot free under baba. If not for lunacy and thirst for brigandage why rig an election you were supposed to win?. May the will of the citizens of Rivers state prevail at the end of the rerun. grin

BY THE TIME APC FINISHES WITH PDP, THEY WON'T EVEN HAVE MONEY TO PRINT 2019 ELECTION POSTERS AND BANNERS. grin grin grin

DAKUKU IS ABOUT TO ENJOY THE FEDERAL MIGHT THAT WIKE ENJOYED UNDER MAMA PISS. AMAECHI NOW HAS ACCESS TO DSS, NAVY, POLICE, EFCC, MILITARY AND OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES. THERE IS NO WAY WIKE WILL GET UP TO 100K VOTES THIS TIME grin grin

WE WILL SPREAD PROPAGANDA, MANIPULATE AND DO EVERYTHING TO TAKE OVER RIVERS AND AKWA IBOM.


UNA NEVER CHI CHUM CHIN grin grin
Re: Supreme Court Dismisses Wike’s Suit Against Tribunal by modath(f): 10:55am On Oct 27, 2015
Wike will be somewhere now cursing the people who advised him to go against Rotimi Amaechi, that man head is just too STRONG, anyone in a headlong battle with him ends with severe head trauma.

EVERYTHING is just falling apart for the wicked one!!!




@Midolian,

It is an october of horror for him truly .

Wike in soup grin...Amaechi be smiling and laughing like joker

Re: Supreme Court Dismisses Wike’s Suit Against Tribunal by Nobody: 10:55am On Oct 27, 2015
...and that's how the cookie crumbles.

I would have been surprised if the Supreme Court had held otherwise, and that's because the ground for the appeal didn't hold water. Territorial jurisdiction has never been fundamental to any suit. Seems they were just grasping at straws with that one.

May the best man for Nigeria and its states always win.

No surprises here.
Both parties can now start preparing for the rerun.
The people of rivers now have another opportunity to speak for whoever they want over them. I hope they will be sensible enough to come out and vote.

So will AP never forget the rerun
Re: Supreme Court Dismisses Wike’s Suit Against Tribunal by cloud9usher:
Rivers and Akwa Ibom are the biggest receivers of the national cake and I'm pretty sure APC is not ready to have such states as PDP states.

PDP brought this upon themselves in the first place by rigging in these states, now APC is hitting them hard!!!
