Appeal Court Upholds Tribunal’s Judgment Nullifying Wike’s Election by jhydosky(m): 1:36pm On Dec 16, 2015
A five-man panel of the Appeal Court in Abuja has affirmed the election petitions tribunal judgment nullifying the election of Nyesom Wike as governor of Rivers State.

The Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal had in October nullified the April 11 election that led to the emergence of Wike as governor of the state.

The tribunal had also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh election within 90 ‎days.

This followed a petition by the All Progressives Congress and its governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, alleging that the election was characterised by widespread electoral malpractices.

In nullifying the election, the Justice Suleiman Ambrosa led-tribunal said the evidence provided by Wike and INEC’s witnesses was not credible.

Wike had, however, challenged the decision of the tribunal with the counsel to the PDP, Chris Uche (SAN), questioning the tribunal’s reliance on accreditation by card readers to nullify the election.

The Appeal Court in upholding the decision of the tribunal resolved seven issues raised by Wike in favour of Peterside and the APC.
