Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has
debunked filing a law suit for the immediate removal of Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
The governor distanced himself from the suit hours after it was reported that the PDP Chieftain filed a suit challenging the outcome of the opposition party’s primary election.
Wike noted that he had no idea whatsoever about the purported suit nor know the lawyers who filed the suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja, while speaking in a chat with Track News Nigeria.
While describing the suit as the handiwork of mischief makers who merely want to use him to score cheap political points, stated emphatically, “I don’t know anything about the so called suit. I did not ask anyone to file any suit for me “I don’t know the lawyers”. Continuing, he said, “am I a kid to be filing a suit at this time. I had 14 days after the primary within which to have filed any suit. I didn’t do that then, is it two months after primary I will file a suit?”
He also recalled that, “Just yesterday they came up with the claim that I ordered my Chief Security Officer to pull down PDP flag in Government House. This is all false, it’s all propaganda. Some people are trying to use me to win the election. Please disregard all these lies”
