Atiku vs Buhari: APC Reveals Fresh PDP’s Plot Against Supreme Court

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to use foreign media to blackmail Nigeria judiciary.

Naija News reports that the Supreme Court has fixed Wednesday, October 30, to rule on the appeal filed by the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, against the ruling of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT).

In a statement on Monday, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Lanre Issa-Onilu accused the PDP of planning to pursue an agenda against Nigeria in the next four years.

He said the PDP and Atiku had procured the services some international columnists to regularly publish false articles with the intent to blackmail justices over its petition at the Supreme Court.

According to Issa-Onilu, an American lawyer and former member of the President Ronald Reagan’s administration has been identified as one of those that had been contracted by the PDP to execute the media attack on the justices of the Supreme Court.

The APC spokesperson called on Nigerians to rise against the PDP to ensure they do not succeed in undermining the country’s existence.

The ruling party said: “We are confident that the Supreme Court will further and finally affirm President Muhammadu Buhari’s election victory.

“We are also confident that the Judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court will not succumb to the opposition PDP’s subterfuge.

“We must continue to resist the unrelenting efforts being made by the PDP and their minions such as the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), few social media worms spreading and promoting face and destructive news in their attempt to truncate our movement towards greatness.

“As part of the PDP and Atiku’s post-election delusions and scheming, the so-called Coalition of United Political Parties has the devious mandate to intimidate and blackmail important state institutions such as INEC, the judiciary, and security agencies, on behalf of PDP.

“APC’s victory at the presidential polls and the election tribunal represents our collective desire as a people to remain focused on the progressive growth and development of our country’s economy, fight against corruption, and providing security.”
