Wike’s victory: I didn’t call for S-Court Judges’ probe — Odigie-Oyegun

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has said that he did not call
for the probe of Supreme Court judges over their verdict
in favour of Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom
Wike. Odigie-Oyegun made the clarification in an
interview with Saturday Vanguard in Abuja on Friday,
said there was no need to do so since the apex court had
not given any reason for its verdicts.
The chairman said: “I did not at any time call for the
probe of the judges of the Supreme Court because we do
not know what informed the court’s decision in respect of
Rivers, Akwa Ibom and others. “It would be out of place
for me to have made such a call when the apex court was
to come out with the details of its judgment. “In any case,
what is there to probe when we don’t even know what
informed their decisions?” he asked rhetorically.
The chairman noted that although the apex court
judgment in the case of Rivers and Akwa Ibom were very
“astonishing”, the party would wait to hear what informed
them before making its feelings public.
It will be recalled that during a meeting with the APC
Governorship Candidate in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, on Wednesday, Odigie-Oyegun had noted that
there was something wrong with the nation’s judiciary,
which needed to be investigated so as to move the nation
forward but did not make specific mention of the
Supreme Court.
“We must address these issues. I still find the judgement
on the Rivers State governorship election totally
astonishing. There is something fundamentally wrong in
the Judiciary,” he said.
