Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has denied filing a suit to challenge the candidacy of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Some online publications had reported that Wike had filed a suit in an Abuja Federal High Court, against Atiku, Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal and the PDP.
The purported suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/782/2022, was said to have claimed that the PDP primary conferred undue advantage on Atiku which aided his emergence as candidate of the PDP in the May 28 and 29 primary.
Reacting, Wike described the suit as a propaganda, adding that it was the handiwork of mischief makers who wanted to paint him bad.
Your boldness sustained agitation for true Federalism, Mimiko tells Wike
“I don’t know anything about the so called suit. I did not ask anyone to file any suit for me. “I don’t know the lawyers. Am I a kid to be filing a suit at this time.
“I had 14 days after the primary within which to have filed any suit. I didn’t do that then, is it two months after primary I will file a suit?
“Just yesterday they came up with the claim that I ordered my Chief Security Officer to pull down PDP flag in Government House.
“This is all false, it’s all propaganda. Some people are trying to use me to win the election. Please disregard all these lies,” the governor said.
