Breaking: Appeal Court sacks Rivers Gov. Wike, Orders Re-Run

The Court of Appeal has struck out the appeal of
Nyesom Wike seeking a dismissal of the judgment of the Rivers election petition tribunal which sacked him as governor of the state.

The tribunal headed by Justice Suleiman Ambrosa had, in a judgment on October 24, voided Wike’s election and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election in the
state.

The tribunal in its ruling stated that the characters of voters called by Wike were impugned under cross-examination and that it agreed that the evidence of the witnesses of Wike and INEC was incredible and
unreliable.
