Governor Wike loses again at the Appeal Court

 

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has thrown out an appeal filed by governor  Nyesom Wike of Rivers state challenging the verdict of the Rivers tribunal that nullified his election.
Delivering the judgment, Justice M.B. Dongban-Mensem held that the election of Nyesom Wike did not conform with the electoral act.

The tribunal headed by Justice Suleiman Ambrosa had in a judgment on October 24, 2015, nullified Wike’s election and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct fresh election.

Wike had challenged the verdict of the tribunal, as he filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal,  asking the court to set aside the  judgment  of  the Rivers state governorship election tribunal  which voided his election.
