Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has slammed a N7 billion suit against ThisDay Newspapers over an alleged libelous story published against him.
The story was published in ThisDay’s Tuesday, June 23, 2020 edition.
Wike claimed in the story, titled: “With Wike, Obaseki Meets His PDP’s Waterloo, Almost,” that defendants maliciously and falsely portrayed him as an unreliable friend/person.
The suit filed at the Port Harcourt High Court by Wike’s Counsel, Emmanuel C.Ukala, said the Defendants further portrayed Wike as a selfish politician and a person who meddled in and exerts subterranean influence in judicial matters in Courts sitting in Port Harcourt to achieve selfish political interest and that he is not a true democrat.
