BREAKING: Election Petition Not Won On Social Media – Wike Fires Shot After Tribunal Judgement

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), emphasized that election petitions are determined by facts and evidence, not social media campaigns.

As a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Wike shared his views exclusively during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday.

The former governor of Rivers State praised the Presidential Election Petitions Court for confirming the victory of President Bola Tinubu from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 presidential election.

Wike clarified that he did not support his own party, the PDP, and its flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar, at the Tribunal “because I believe their position was wrong; I believe in equity, I believe in fairness, I believe in justice.”

“I have always told people that election petition is not like any other case; it’s a special area; it is not by propaganda, it is not won on social media, it is presentation of evidence, facts.

“I sat down for not less than 10 hours. Look at how the justices painstakingly took each item one by one, from the preliminary objections to the motions, down to the objections on documents and exhibits, down to substantial issues,” the minister said.
