The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has accuse the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of harassing Justices of the Supreme Court and two serving Ministers, Chinuike Rotimi Amaechi and Juctice Abubakar Malami, Attorney-General and Minister of Justice over the election in oil rich River State.
The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu said while “the APC has no intention to join issues with the PDP over its fictional and concocted allegations against the party and its leaders, we are however well aware of the PDP’s intent to hoodwink and deceive the public; and most importantly, intimidate and blackmail our eminent Supreme Court Justices into doing their bidding in respect of the matter of the purported exclusion of Rivers State APC candidates from the last elections, before the apex court.”
He said the “Supreme Court has not made any pronouncement on the purported exclusion of APC candidates from the just concluded Governorship, National Assembly and State Assembly elections in Rivers State” and said the party would allow the law to take its course while it expects the PDP to do the same.
