The All Progressives Congress (APC) have called on Rivers State Governor, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike, to shed more light on how he got his governorship victory at the Supreme Court.
Chairman of the APC in the state, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, who made the call in a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday, was reacting to the thanksgiving and victory service organized by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), held last weekend in the state capital.
Urging the people of the state and Nigerians in general to ignore the numerous campaigns by Wike under the guise of thanksgiving service to mark his victory at the Nigerian Supreme Court, Ikanya wondered why the governor has refused to address key issues he raised in his confession concerning the supreme court’s verdict.
The APC chairman said: “For example, Governor Wike told the world while speaking on live television that he got his victory at the Supreme Court because Dr. Peter Odili directed him on who to meet and what to do. Let Wike also explain to the world who and who Dr. Peter Odili directed him to meet and where the former governor directed him to go that brought about victory for him (Wike) at the Supreme Court.
“We know that the matter before the Supreme Court was legal and not medical, how come it was Dr. Peter Odili, a medical doctor, who would direct Wike on a purely legal matter? Surely, Nyesom Wike has not disclosed all that happened.
“It has become more curious to most people that Gov. Wike openly acknowledged that his Supreme Court victory was a result of the advice he got from Dr. Peter Odili hence the need for the governor to tell Rivers people and Nigerians the nature of the advice, especially those the former governor directed him to meet which got him victory at the Supreme Court.”
