Wike said this in reaction to criticisms of the judgment in the petitions filed by Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Atiku Abubakar, and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) against the victory of President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday, September 7, 2023, the former Rivers State Governor said, “Did Peter Obi not win at the Supreme Court when he was removed as governor? Did he pay bribe? Let him tell the world now.”
“When he was removed as a governor, did he not reclaim his mandate at the Supreme Court? Judiciary was right but now that the decision happened, judiciary is wrong,” Wike said as he defended the Presidential Election Petition Court’s verdict.
