Wike Rubbishes Supreme Court, Restores Omehia as Ex-Gov

It is only in Nigeria you see a man who said he is a trained lawyer behave in such reckless manner, in clear disregard for the supreme court, the highest court in Nigeria. Supreme Court said in the eyes of the law Celestine Omehia was never governor, the same thing with Andy Uba, but Wike has is own law.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, gave official recognition to Celestine Omehia as one of the former governors of the state.


Wike also returned Omehia’s official portrait to where the photographs of other past chief executives of the state were placed at the Government House in Port Harcourt. He has also formally restored the benefits and entitlements of a former governor to Omehia.

See photo of Wike hanging Omehia's photograph below:

"I hereby put back his official portrait among those of former governors. He is now entitled to the benefits of all former governors," Wike said claiming he did it in the interest of the state.

It will be recalled that Omehia, who was inaugurated as the governor of the state on May 29, 2007, was replaced by Rotimi Amaechi on October 25, 2007, through a verdict of the Supreme Court.

The highest court in the land said Omehia was an illegal governor, Wike said he's legitimate. Lobatan!
