Nyesom Wike
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has denied the Facebook posting credited to him on the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Tribunal which annulled the election of Governor Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) Aisha Alhassan as winner of April 11, 2015 poll on Staturday.
The fake Facebook post read:
“Rape of Justice
"Election Tribunal could sit in Boko Haram main zone in Borno and Yobe whereas rivers and Taraba was moved to Abuja due to security reasons. Is Yobe and Borno more secured than Rivers and Taraba? Our democrasy is crying under APC and Buhari”
Wike in his statement on Monday, signed by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant (Media ), enjoined Nigerians to disregard the fake Facebook posting criticising the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Tribunal judgment as he Wike does not run any such Facebook page where the uncomplimentary remarks were made.
He urged all the social media platforms and blogs that have published the post from the fake Facebook Page, ‘Nyesom Wike’ to pull down same as they do not represent the views of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
