Two days after one of his media assistant, Opunabo Nko-Tariah discharged an announcement portraying the invalidation of his April eleventh decision as a judicial gangup against him, Rivers state senator, Nyesom Wike has separated himself from Nko-Tariah's remarks.

Talking at a meeting with Rivers state Stakeholders containing serving congresspersons, House of Reps individuals, Traditional rulers and others at the administration house in Port Harcourt yesterday, Wike said he has trust in the legal and that he never sent any of his associates to affront the legal.



"Be assured by the Grace of God our lawyers are working hard to file the appeal within stipulated time. I have told people that it is not in our character to cast aspersions on judges. I have also told people not to speak on my behalf to castigate judges. The tribunal is not the final appellate court on this matter. There is no need of castigating the judiciary. We are not one of those when judgment favours you, you says you have confidence in the judiciary. When it does not favour you, you lose confidence in the judiciary. I want to say in the past two days, you must have read where they quoted me as saying judicial terrorism or judicial gang-up, I never said so. And I never authorised anybody to say so on this matter"he said.



The governor added that his team of lawyers are working round the clock to complete the process of filing an appeal against the judgment. Speaking at the solidarity visit, Senator George Sekibo said that Wike was duly elected and his election will be updated in course of the appeal.
