The camp of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, are constantly monitoring judges “for their paymaster” as the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal winds down.
Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar stated this in a release on Monday, adding that it was curious that Wike and Makinde both travelled to Plateau State to attend a memorial service hosted by the President of the Appeal Court, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, even though they were not invited.
In a statement he signed, Atiku’s aide claimed Wike had been using dubious means to cosy up to judges and had been giving them gifts under the guise of welfare. Shaibu noted that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, made a Freudian slip a few months ago when he claimed he was happy that Governor Makinde was a member of the renegade governors known as the G5.
“Unfortunately, the CJN, Justice Ariwoola, has also failed to live above suspicion. He was in Rivers State ahead of the election, where he said he was happy that Governor Makinde was a member of G5. Then, at the commissioning of the Oyo Governor’s lodge in Abuja on May 25, the CJN once again was the special guest of Governor Makinde.
