Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, has reacted to the allegation
leveled against him by APC candidate in the April 14th 2015 governorship
election in the state, Dakuku Peterside, that he compromised the
Supreme Court judges with the help of a former governor of the state,
Peter Odili and his wife Justice Mary Odili, to make the January 27th
ruling on the state governorship election to favor him. Wike reacted in a
statement released yesterday February 9th.
"The late foremost Nationalist Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe is noted to have
warned that if you do not answer false allegations made against you by
your opponents, those allegations soon gain currency and belief.
It is with this admonition in mind that we are
constrained to reply to the childish and infantile gibberish ranted
today in the guise of a press conference by the defeated APC
gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside.
Dakuku Peterside and his party’s true reaction to the Supreme Court
victory was given during the former’s visit of incitement against Rivers
people and the peoples of the Niger Delta to Chief John Odigie Oyegun,
the APC chairman. At that meeting in which Dakuku Peterside was inciting
the president and the people of Nigeria against the peoples of the
Niger Delta and the government and people of Rivers state, Chief John
Odigie Oyegun. Chief Onyegun then proceeded to announce that the Supreme
Court would be probed for doing their work simply because verdict was
not given in favour of Dr. Dakuku Peterside.
“Dr. Dakuku Peterside and
his APC have not accepted the Supreme Court verdict and would do
anything to destroy the Supreme Court and the integrity of its Justices
for daring to uphold existing jurisprudence. The pathological liar Dr.
Dakuku Adol Peterside claimed that: as early as 9 am on Wednesday
January 27, 2016 Wike Supporters were already in jubilation; there were
comments in social media three weeks before the verdict on Wike’s
victory; the respected Odilis’ were used to procure the verdict of the
Supreme Court. These allegations are scornful, demented and
laughable.”the statement read
