I was offered bribe, then threatened and eventually removed
as the chairman of the Rivers state governorship petitions
tribunal- Justice Pindigi
Justice Pindigi, the former chairman of the Rivers state governorship petitions tribunal, has recounted his experience at the tribunal. He said , " Two weeks before I was removed as chairman of the Tribunal, I got a call from an unknown number, asking for an appointment for us to meet in Kaduna. And I asked, what for? And the caller said, it's on a need to know basis. That the details of the meeting would be made known to me in Kaduna. And I declined. The next was a call from the DSS, saying they were all expecting me at the meeting in Kaduna. And demanded why I turned down the appointment. And I said, I'm a chairman of a Tribunal, and do not have the luxury to attend meetings. Especially one without an agenda. And the caller from DSS said there was a petition of fraud against me, in a case I handled in Kaduna in 2009. And I asked him to charge me accordingly, in line with the extant laws. I was called again by another caller; who apologised to me, on behalf of the DSS. And offered to compensate me for the harassment I received from the DSS, and rescheduled another meeting, in Kaduna. And I declined again. And the next was a letter removing me as the Chairman of the Rivers State
governorship petitions tribunal, and replacing me with Justice
Ambrosa. As is the practice, I offered to brief Justice Ambrosa, on the proceedings so far, but he said that won't be necessary that he has been following the case. Now, on the judgement delivered by Justice Ambrosa; it will be unethical and unprofessional to denigrate, or condemn the judgement of a contemporary colleague. However, the Supreme Court has said, that for an election to be annulled, the petitioner has to prove that elections didn't hold at the polling units, where the winner was returned elected. And I'm not sure that the Ambrosa's judgement, arrived through that route "

Okay.

Unfortunately we don't know who is lying.

I see

Why is the truth emanating after judgement?

He got a 'call from DSS" ?. How does someone confirm or authenticate the source of a call if there was no means to do so. I can call Mr Seun of Nairaland and tell him am from the FBI but that does not mean am actually FBI if there is no physical interface for my if ID card to be inspected. We sobt know who is lying but one thing is for sure, as a man of the law; pindigi cant go around saying he was called by the DSS without evidence.

Ok

Indeed we are fighting corruption in a grand style.

What can we say... They are all politicians. Lying is their birth right.

How convenient that he's just saying it now,why you nor talk since,

APC change mean all PDP members are corrupt while PDP decampee and APC members are incorruptible. I know that God will use Appeal court to address this injustice meted on Wike
