Did he bribe judges In 2007 ? – Wike blasts Peter Obi for rejecting tribunal judgment

• Wike said there was no reason for Obi to reject the verdict of the court because he once benefitted from similar ruling in the past
• This is as he claimed that president Bola Tinubu won the February 25th presidential election

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said the judgment of the presidential election petition court was right and fair.

This is as he claimed that president Bola Tinubu won the February 25th presidential election.

The Presidential Election Petitions Court had delivered a 12-hour marathon judgment on Wednesday where they upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu at the poll.

The court dismissed petitions of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM); the petitions of the PDP and its flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar; as well as the petitions of LP and Obi.

Both Atiku and Obi have rejected the Tribunal’s verdict and vowed to seek redress at the Supreme Court.

Speaking on the development, Wike said there was no reason for Obi to reject the verdict of the court because he once benefitted from similar ruling in the past.

He noted that the judiciary was right when the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) reclaimed his mandate as governor of Anambra State in 2007 but the judiciary was wrong when he lost at the presidential Tribunal on Wednesday.

Wike wondered if Obi resorted to financial inducement to get the judges to deliver judgment in his favour when he reclaimed his mandate as a governor in 2007.

“Did Peter Obi not win at the Supreme Court when he was removed as governor? Did he pay bribe? Let him tell the world now,” Wike said.

“When he was removed as a governor, did he not reclaim his mandate at the Supreme Court? Judiciary was right but now that the decision happened, judiciary is wrong.”
