Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has denied dragging the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and others to court over the outcome of the party’s presidential primary.
Wike made the disclosure on Friday during the official commissioning of Rivers State Legislators Quarters built by the state government.
He said he was focused on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
“People have called me that I went to court against Atiku Abubakar,” he said.
“I want to state categorically that I didn’t go to court. I just want to say it for Nigerians to know. I have kept quiet. I am busy with delivering the dividends of democracy.
“If they lose election, nobody should call my name. I have told the candidate.
“If I wanted to go to court, I would have gone to court within two weeks.
“It is the candidate’s group that are doing all these things. Let the world hear. They are the ones plotting all these things, thinking they will spoil my name.
“We are supposed to be talking about winning election.”
