Addressing journalists in Abuja during a press briefing, he said the party would field no candidate on Saturday in line with the ruling of the apex court.

He said the court, as the final arbiter in the case, had made the final judgment and must be respected by all parties to the dispute, particularly the party members and leader in Rives State.
