The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a suit seeking the disqualification of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State from contesting in the last governorship election.
A five-man panel of the apex court led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, unanimously, held on Monday that that notice of appeal filed before the Court of Appeal by the plaintiff, Elvis Chinda, who initiated the suit before the Federal High Court was incompetent.
The plaintiff’s prayer for Wike’s disqualification was anchored on an allegation that the governor forged the statutory declaration of age he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the 2019 governorship poll.
Reacting to the picture which is now making round on social media, Ude in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle, described it as the effect of 40 years old whiskey. “This is what happens when a 40yrs old whiskey has become your bl**d. You are so dr*nk you don’t even know how to button your suit,” Ude tweeted.
