LAGOS—THE South-South Pen Pushers ,SSPP, has
dismissed reports accusing Justice Mary Odili of
facilitating Governor Nyesom Wike’s victory at
the Supreme Court.
A statement by the group's Director of Media, Mr.
Ambrose Sule demanded for a retraction from
those behind the claims, stating that failure to do
so would attract legal action. The statement read: "To drag Hon. Justice Mary
Odili and the Supreme Court as an institution into
woeful lamentation, is to say the least, appalling,
crass and dangerous to the sanctity of the
judicial system in Nigeria.
"For the avoidance of doubt, Justice Odili has
earned her place on the Bench through the
ranks and not a single malfeasance has been
adduced to her except that which exists in the
jaundiced minds of those behind the allegations. ‘’To suggest that the Justice Odili ‘compromised’
the legal process at the Supreme Court for Wike
to be justifiably returned as governor is to
suggest that those behind the allegation had
compromised all the legal processes but the
apex court.
"We, however, do not hold that to be true.
Justice Odili was never near the panel that sat
over the matter." ‘’It is on this note that we ask Nigerians to ignore
the mischief of the Rivers APC and call on them to
expeditiously retract this bellicose statement or
we would be persuaded to institute legal action
against for criminal libel and defamation.
"We of the South South Pen Pushers are
witnesses to the unfortunate insults, abuses and
trash that were thrown at former President
Goodluck Jonathan and he bore it with the grace
and dignity of his high office. Governor Wike has
not abused President Buhari and will not. On the whole, we urge the Rivers APC, and all their foot
soldiers to refrain from any untoward act or
speech against the Hon. Justice Mary Odili."
