The presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, accused the All Progressives Congress of plotting to intimidate judges in order to improperly influence the outcomes of cases that are currently before the court. The APC has rejected this claim.
In a statement released on Saturday in Abuja, the national publicity secretary of the APC, Mr. Felix Morka, claimed that Abubakar and his party had provided no proof to back up their claims that the presidential election on February 25 was marred by irregularities.
“A press release from a spokesperson for PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has caught our attention.
The APC and its government are allegedly involved in a plot to intimidate judges in order to improperly influence the results of cases that are currently before the court, according to the statement.
“Atiku Abubakar and his henchmen provided no proof to back up their outrageous, baseless, and malicious allegations.
To put it bluntly, nothing in Abubakar’s statement merits an APC response, according to Morka.
The statement, he continued, lacked substance and cogency, and its sole conceivable goal was to flog an alibi in an embarrassing attempt to divert attention from the shame of what was almost certainly going to be a legal defeat.
The former vice president, he continued, had failed to present a convincing argument to support his false claim that he had won the most recent presidential election.
“President Bola Tinubu and our party convincingly won the election. We fully trust and believe that our legal system will administer electoral justice in accordance with our Constitution and all relevant laws, Morka emphasized.
