The Special Adviser to the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike on media and publicity, Opunabo Nko-Tariah says the nullification of Wike’s April 11th election and the Supreme courts dismissal of Wike’s suit against the relocation of the state election tribunal, can best be described as a judicial gang up against Wike. Nko-Tariah said this in a statement he released yesterday
“What is going on right now can best be described as judicial gang-up against Governor Wike, and the people of Rivers State. It is an affront on democracy and a blight disregard for the will of the people as evinced in the April 11 general elections. The courts are setting pernicious precedents by hinging their verdicts on inane points. Rivers people overwhelmingly gave their mandate to Governor Wike but a microscopic few want to wrest that mandate from him through the back door” the statement read
