PETERSIDE described as unwarranted and regrettable the criticism by Governor WIKE over unfavorable judgments at the governorship election tribunal and the Supreme Court.
In a statement signed by his Special Assistant On Media, SYLVESTER ASOYA, PETERSIDE said what the governor, his agents and the PDP have done is to try and denigrate the judiciary. The APC governorship candidate, who spoke in Abuja, maintained that the vilification of an important arm of government like the judiciary by those he described as desperate politicians portend grave danger for Nigeria’s democracy. PETERSIDE said the on-going war against the judiciary by Governor WIKE and the PDP is a dangerous example that must be checked quickly because of its disastrous consequences.
He said the outburst by the PDP and the governor indicates that they are finding it difficult to live under due process and the rule of law. PETERSIDE reminded that nobody is above the law and when people openly and brazenly challenge institutions of state like the judiciary, it sends the wrong signal.
