In 2014, he won the Rivers State People's Democratic Party primary and chose former Secretary to the State Government Ipalibo Banigo as his running mate for Deputy Governor. He defeated Dakuku Peterside of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the April 11 Gubernatorial Polls to emerge as Governor. 〔http://www.punchng.com/news/wike-wins-rivers-pdp-gov-primary/〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AS WIKE FACES THE JURY )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Students Enterprise of Nigeria " Chief Ezenwo Wike )〕 ==Rivers State Election Tribunal Against Wike== On May 13, 2015, the Election Tribunal for Rivers State, sitting in Abuja, commenced the hearing on the election of Nyesom Wike. Dr Dakuku Peterside of the APC is seeking the tribunal to nullify the election of Nyesom Wike of the PDP who was declared winner as governor in the poll held on April 11, 2015, on the grounds that it was fraught with malpractices and non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rivers State Election Tribunal hears case against Wike )〕 Nyesom Wike opposed the hearing of the case in Abuja, arguing that the Tribunal should be held in Port Harcourt. But the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachawa, rejected Wike's arguments and ordered that the tribunal be held in Abuja, for reason of security. Justice Zainab also ordered that, besides Rivers, all Election Petition Tribunals for Adamawa, Borno and Yobe beheld in Abuja.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Appeal Court President Ordered Rivers State election tribunal be held in Abuja )〕 After failing to serve Wike with court summons, presiding Justice Muazu Pindiga approved the request by Mr Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (SAN), the counsel to Dr Dakuku Peterside of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to grant an order for substituted service on the Governor-elect because Wike had been evading service of court summon and other processes in the petition challenging Wike's elections. Akeredolu stated that the court bailiffs had on several occasions visited Wike's residence to effect court service on him but was on all the occasions turned back at the gate by Wike's security guards upon discovery that he was a court bailiff.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rivers State Election Tribunal hears case against Wike )〕 Ruling on the petitioner’s counsel’s motion, Justice Pindiga, who granted the prayers, ordered that the court processes should be pasted on the wall of Wike's house. He said that "I have gone through the motion ex-parte and it is hereby granted; all the court processes are deem valid." Justice Pindiga then ordered that substituted service be effected against Wike either by pasting the court process on Wike's house or at the office of the PDP secretariat in Rivers state or in Abuja. The River State Governorship election tribunal nullified the election of Mr Nyesom Wike on October 24, 2015. The election tribunal ordered Governorship election rerun in Rivers State within 90 days immediately after the day of judgment. Wike as said he will appeal the rulling of the tribunal. .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judge Ordered Bailiff to Serve Wike with Substituted Service )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ezenwo Nyesom Wike」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
