Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has denied filing a suit against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal.
Speaking at the commissioning of House of Assembly Quarters in Port Harcourt, Wike said he was focused on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
In his words, “People have called me that I went to court against Atiku Abubakar. I want to state categorically, that I didn’t go to court. I just want to say it for Nigerians to know. I have kept quiet. I am busy delivering the dividends of democracy.
“If they lose election, nobody should call my name. I have told the candidate.“If I wanted to go to court, I would have gone to court within two weeks.
“It is the candidate’s group that are doing all these things. Let the world hear. They are the ones plotting all these things, thinking they will spoil my name. We are supposed to be talking about winning election.”
It was earlier reported that Wike sued the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar; the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; and the PDP over the conduct of the presidential primary of the party that was held was in Abuja on May 28 and May 29, 2022.
