The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has refuted claims that he bribed some Supreme Court justices to get his governorship election victory validated.
The governor, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, further stated that he did not beg justices to accept N5bn bribe to validate his election.
According to him, he was elected in line with the same principles of law that also validated the election of some governors who contested on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.

He said, “For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Wike did not bribe any Supreme Court justice or justices to get his election validated. The governor has always had confidence in the judiciary to uphold the tenets of the law.
“The Supreme Court upheld the election of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike in line with the same principles of law and facts that it upheld the elections of APC governors, especially in Lagos, Kaduna, Zamfara, Oyo and Ogun states.
