The Supreme Court has upheld the outcome of the April 11 governorship
election that brought Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to power.
The apex court in an unanimous judgment, restored the declaration of
Wike as the valid winner of the poll by the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC.
Justice Kekere-Ekun who delivered the lead verdict, held that three
separate appeals that were filed by Wike, PDP and INEC, were
meritorious.
Concurrent judgments of both the Rivers State Governorship Election
Petition Tribunal and that of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal
were all set aside by the Supreme Court.
The apex court panel headed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice
Mahmud Mohammed however reserved their reasons for the judgement till
February 12.
Congrats to His Excellency Governor Nyesom Wike....
Enough with the delay. Time to transform Rivers State...
