Punch reports that he said the ruling shows that “there is something fundamentally wrong with the nation’s judiciary.”
Oyegun said “I still find the judgment on the Rivers State governorship election totally astonishing. There is something fundamentally wrong in the Judiciary.
“We have lost very important resource-rich states to the PDP. No matter how crude oil prices have fallen, it is still the most important revenue earner for the country.
