I'll keep on saying it. Buhari and the APC are playing with fire. You cannot rob the people of their mandate via the courts. It'll backfire. Wike will emerge stronger than ever.

You guys that supports APC doesn't see anything wrong in the evil that is ongoing in this present govt. Very pathetic.

Hypocrisies everywhere.

We learned from you! Or didn't you teach is well?

Curiously the article quote premium times as source but their is no such news on premium times website. In the a second paragraph it said....
According to Premium Times, Pindiga availed that two weeks before he was dismissed, he was threatened.He also revealed that soon after, there was an attempt to bribe him and later on he was sacked.. That's curious

Justice Muazu Pindiga, the former chairman of the Rivers state governorship petitions tribunal who was removed under questionable circumstances has spoken up about the ordeal he went through just before he was dismissed as judge of the tribunal.

According to Premium Times, Pindiga availed that two weeks before he was dismissed, he was threatened.He also revealed that soon after, there was an attempt to bribe him and later on he was sacked.

He said: “Two weeks before I was removed as chairman of the Tribunal, I got a call from an unknown number, asking for an appointment for us to meet in Kaduna. And I asked, what for?

“And the caller said, it’s on a need to know basis. That the details of the meeting would be made known to me in Kaduna. And I declined.

“The next was a call from the DSS, saying they were all expecting me at meeting in Kaduna. And demanded why I turned down the appointment. And I said, I’m a chairman of a Tribunal, and do not have the luxury to attend meetings. Especially one without an agenda.

“And the caller from DSS said there was a petition of fraud against me, in a case I handled in Kaduna in 2009. And I asked him to charge me accordingly, in line with the extant laws.

“I was called again by another caller; who apologised to me, on behalf of the DSS. And offered to compensate me for the harassment I received from the DSS, and rescheduled another meeting, in Kaduna. And I declined again.

“And the next was a letter removing me as the Chairman of the Rivers State governorship petitions tribunal, and replacing me with Justice Ambrosa. As is the practice, I offered to brief Justice Ambrosa, on the proceedings so far, but he said that won’t be necessary that he has been following the case.

“Now, on the judgement delivered by Justice Ambrosa; it will be unethical and unprofessional to denigrate, or condemn the judgement of a contemporary colleague.

“However, the Supreme Court has said, that for an election to be annulled, the petitioner has to prove that elections didn’t hold at the polling units, where the winner was returned elected. And I’m not sure that the Ambrosa’s judgement arrived through that route.”

The Trent news agency does your editor know Judicial officers cannot speak to the press.
this is Media rascality

TonyeBarcanista:
This is a very serious allegation that must not be dismissed. The APC is capable of anything just to pervert justice.

Please rise above mediocrity; no serving judge would say so of he's worth his position. Besides, the DSS doesn't operate in the manner narrated. Thirdly there was no mention of bribe in the story. Baracanistar, it will be a waste if you limit your potential to things that appeal to your emotions; except you are conformable at the level of PDP advocacy.

Fake

9jatriot:
usual fake source of trentonline.

lets assume for academic purposes that the honorable judge made these comments, why now after the verdicts has come out?

Lets assume he really got a call from an agent claiming to be from DSS, anyone with a mobile Chinese phone can place a call and claim to be anyone, DSS inclusive.

Trent online is a more credible source than Sahara reporters, nation and punch newspapers whether you like it or not. You have to deal with it

Actually you never did but you know in your heart of hearts that the story is fake. But you just want to satisfy your emotions and also stimulate angst.

It doesn't matter if Pindiga was bribed, threatened or fired, the creek boys should prepare for war,that's all that matters. When the elections come, BUHARI and his sponsors will know between him and us, who runs the creeks.

Am not sure a retired Judge/Justice can speak to the press on allegations like this, not to talk of one in service. There are so many fault lines in the report that discredit it.

. tonyebacanista oyya respond to this

STATES LIKE AKWAIBOM AND RIVERS ARE FAR BEYOND APC REACH...
IF THE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION WERE TO BE CONDUCTED HUNDRED TIMES.,PDP WILL STILL FLOOR APC HUNDRED TIMES AT THE POLL.. And
WE ARE ALL WATCHING.....

Notwithstanding the capacity of any party to win on a number of occasions that elections are held; elections must reflect the wishes of voters. The Rivers and Akwa-Ibom elections do not indicate the voters provide the results rather than some pen and cash.

People will say its a lie because this is not what they want to hear.This is a wake up call for us,Buhari govt is corrupt,the earlier we realize this the better for us.They said they want to give us change,meanwhile they are trying so hard to be like the previous govt,from the look of things they might be worse.

You must be a terrible student, how many APC Governors won tribunal cases against PDP even when the PDP was the ruling party.

Liar from the darkest part of Hell.

DSS must ensure that nothing happens to this judge; no house fire, no random robbery attacks, no suicide, nothing!!!!!!
