Wike's Suit Against Rivers Election Tribunal Has Been Thrown Out By Supreme Court

This morning, the Supreme court threw out a suit filed by Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike against the Rivers State election tribunal.
 
Wike had approached the apex court, asking that the action of the tribunal to relocate from Rivers State to Abuja be regarded as unconstitutional. The tribunal had relocated to Abuja due to security threats in Port Harcourt.

Delivering its judgement this morning, the 7 man panel of judges said the relocation of the tribunal from Rivers State to Abuja was constitutional and borne out of security challenges.

The apex court also added that the president of the appeal court did not err in law by ordering the relocation of the tribunal. On Saturday October 24th, the state tribunal nullified Wike's election and ordered a fresh election be conducted in 90 days.

  6. I don't know y our politicians will know d truth and behave like kids. Even international observers said election didn't take place in Rivers. D Labour party man also says, d number of bullet is more dan d number of voters. Wike shuld just stop all dese rubbish and focus on d next election cos for now, PDP still has rivers.
