The Ebonyi State Government has accused the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, of speaking as if he has the Nigerian Judiciary in his armpit.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Special Assistant to Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwaze, on Monday.

The statement was issued in reaction to a video in which, according to the Ebonyi State Government, Wike claimed to have masterminded the Federal High Court ruling that had Governor Umahi sacked from office.

It is on record that Governor Umahi since the legal battle started has conducted himself properly by filing an appeal in a Court of Superior records and did not resort to horse-trading like his counterpart, Nyesom Wike who speaks as if he has the Nigeria Judiciary in his armpit, which is impossible.

“While not joining issues with the Governor, we like to remind Wike that hence he riggled himself out of the 2015 Appeal Court ruling dismissing him as Governor of Rivers State, Governor Umahi would come out of his current legal issues stronger and unscathed while still proceeding on his presidential ambition gallantly.
