The Special Adviser to the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Nko-Tariahhas alleged that there is a gang up within the judiciary against the governor.
This comes on the heels of a judgement by the Rivers election tribunal annulling Governor Wike’s election, and another by the Supreme Court validating the legality in moving the tribunal sitting from Rivers State to Abuja.

Speaking via a statement, Nko-Tariah said: “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.”
