The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC, Chief John Oyegun,has called for the probe of Supreme Court Judges following the recent victory verdict Governor Wike of Rivers State Got over his party's candidate Dakuku Peterside.
The Supreme Court last week dismissed Peterside's appeal and affirmed Wike's election as Rivers State Govermor.
Chief Oyegun who spoke when he received a delegation from the state led by Dr Dakuku Peterside,shocked over the Supreme court ruling said “something fundamentally wrong in the judiciary.”
Oyegun said: “The APC National leadership has not neglected party leaders and supporters in Rivers State. The state has always been in the front burner of discussion and decision in the party. There is obviously something fundamentally wrong in Rivers State which needs to be investigated and addressed.
“Your visit has had a sober effect on me. This meeting will kickstart urgent actions to address what went wrong. As of today, there is an attempt being made by INEC to bar us from elections in Anambra and other states. 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.
“We have lost very important resource-rich states to the PDP. No matter how crude oil prices have fallen, it is still the most important revenue earner for the country.
“I will take up your request to facilitate a meeting with the President. We will do that as soon as possible and also make it clear that there are problems which as a party, we must address.”Peterside from his earlier speech said since they lost the feeling of the people of the state is like that of an orphan adding that the only consolation of the people is ministerial appointment the ex-Governor Rotimi Amaechi got
