The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop denigrating the judiciary by suggesting that tribunal judges handling the various election petitions can be influenced.
He said the APC-led Federal Government will not micromanage the judiciary.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a statement issued in Lagos yesterday said the PDP was throwing wild allegations against the tribunals in Rivers and other states because the party knows it stole the votes in those states.
“The affected states are the cash cows of the PDP, hence, the party is so jittery about losing the states, which they know they did not win in the first instance. We have confidence in the ability of the tribunals to carry out their duties diligently and without fear or favour.
“We implore the PDP to be charitable enough to repose the same confidence in the tribunals,’’ it said.
