The mouthwatering gifts of 41 Range Rover Discovery Sports Utility Vehicles to serving judges of Rivers State High and Customary Courts by Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, is making waves on Twitter and other social media platforms.
The governor’s allies claim that the governor’s act of goodwill was in fulfillment of the promise he made to judges to enhance effective delivery of Justice in the state.
Not unexpected though, this supposedly kind gesture of the governor has now become the centre of controversy on Twitter as some users condemned him for not buying from Innonson and influencing the judiciary while some praised him for keeping to his promise.
Here are some of the tweets:

@SERAPNigeria, @EiENigeria, @AdeolaFayehun, @DrDamages and others are not making videos. Let it be Gov SanwoOlu, Gov Abiodun or Gov Elrufai…They will even copy hellfire after copying all embassies and consulate. “
