Wike directed the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to review all pending criminal cases linked to politics before the 2019 elections and make necessary recommendations to promote reconciliation. He then pledged to run an inclusive government aimed at promoting the state with the collective interest of all our people, irrespective of party, ethnic or religious affiliations.
“We salute the opposition for their courage to fight within the confines of the law to the end. Now that the legal battle is over, the task of building the State must take precedence over all other considerations.”
Wike expressed gratitude to God for the Supreme Court judgment, assuring the people that with the judgment all legal tussles have come to a close with the people having nothing to fear.
