WIKE, PDP SHOPPING FOR A JUDGE THAT WILL GRANT INJUNCTION AGAINST INEC DECLARATION OF PHALGA CONSTITUENCY 3 BYE-ELECTION RESULT



The attention of All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State Chapter has been drawn to ongoing efforts by Gov. Nyesom Wike and officials of Rivers State Government to enlist the services of a judge of the Rivers State Judiciary to sit and grant an injunction stopping the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from proceeding to conclude and announce the result of last Saturday’s PHALGA 3 Constituency bye election.

So far, all the judges approached to execute the scheme have politely turned it down. The APC salutes the courage of these judges. We call on those yet to be contacted to emulate their colleagues and turn down an attempt by the government to abuse the judicial system.

The APC believes that despite the threats being made against those judges who have refused to be dragged into the matter, the judges of the State Judiciary, as noble men and women, will continue to display this kind of uncommon bravery and strict adherence to the tenets of the hallowed profession of dispensing justice without fear or favour.

We urge Gov. Nyesom Wike and the PDP in Rivers State to abandon their evil agenda meant to, once again, drag the judiciary into the murky political waters of the State.

State Publicity Secretary.

The beep of a text message woke me up on that fateful day. My eyes were still heavy and so I reckoned that I needed a little more sleep. I managed to stand up and loitered around my room looking for my phones without success. I managed to first get hold of my wrist watch and checked the time. It was exactly 4.15 am. Who could be sending me a message at this time? I murmured as I found my phones lying by the corner where I abandoned them. The message was short and typical – where are you? It came from the Minister for Transportation, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi. As soon as I read it, I responded immediately by telling him that I was in Abuja while praying that he will not remember to follow up. Yet another short response came through almost immediately – see me at 7. am. Oh my God I shouted as I read it and sank back to sleep to see how much of it I could get before going to keep the appointment. I imagined a thousand and one reasons that would have made the Minister invite me as I dr
