The political turmoil in Rivers State continues a Dakuku Peterside and ex-Governor Rotimi Amaechi have refused to give up on their plot to remove the current Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike is reportedly not relenting in his desperate plot to retain his gubernatorial seat. He has asked the gubernatorial election tribunal sitting in Abuja to prevent APC's gubernatorial candidate Dakuku Peterside and his APC counterparts from accessing the sensitive electoral materials used in the state.
This comes after, Peterside and the APC had asked for access to the materials after filling a petition before a tribunal challenging Wike’s victory.The tribunal wich was led by Justice Muazu Pindigahad on June 11, 2015 granted an ex parte order permitting the petitioners to personally or through their lawyers or forensic expert inspect the electoral materials used for the poll.
Wike's lawyer, Emmanuel Ukala (SAN) has moved to restrict Peterside on the grounds that the sensitive materials could be compromised by the investigators.
