Wike denies dragging Atiku, PDP, Tambuwal to court

The Rivers State governor, Mr Nyesom Wike has denied filing a suit against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal.

Speaking during the inauguration of the House of Assembly Quarters in Port Harcourt, the governor stated that he was focused on delivering the dividends of democracy to Rivers’ people.

According to him, people have called him to inform him that he went to court against Atiku Abubakar.

He said: “I want to state categorically, that I didn’t go to court. I just want to say it for Nigerians to know. I have kept quiet. I am busy delivering the dividends of democracy.

“If they lose the election, nobody should call my name. I have told the candidate.

“If I wanted to go to court, I would have gone to court within two weeks.

“It is the candidate’s group that is doing all these things. Let the world hear. They are the ones plotting all these things, thinking they will spoil my name.

“We are supposed to be talking about winning the election.”
