imageChief Nyesom Wike, whose election as Governor of Rivers State was annulled on Saturday by the Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, has alleged the payment of N23 billion bribe to tribunal judges by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to nullify the election of all South-South states governors – all of them members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“How can a party win all Senate seats, all House of Representatives seats, all State Assembly, 97% votes in presidential election and they could tell the public that the party did not win the governorship?

“Keep calm, we must appeal.”
