The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied planning to compromise the anticipated Supreme Court judgment on the Kano governorship election.
It said that the there were rumours that New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) has reached out to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the matter in favour of the NNPP candidate to remain as governor and subsequently decamp to the APC.
Kano APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, in a statement issued Sunday said since the NNPP started circulating the rumours, its gullible members are excited and continue to dish out all sorts of lies so as to make the party’s supporters continue to remain hopeful in the face of the prevailing disfranchisement.
He vehemently dismissed the so-called agreement and reconciliation as mere rumours.
Abbas insisted that there was nowhere such meeting was held with either Mr. President or any leader of the party.
He pointed out that APC as a party was not aware of such arrangement and would instead intensify all efforts to pursue its case at the Supreme Court to a logical conclusion.
Abbas added: “President Bola Tinubu is a democrat and strongly believes in the rule of law and the right thing to be done and therefore will not be part of any arrangement or reconciliation to subvert justice and support people who have stolen votes or breach the electoral act to emerge as leaders.”
The chairman added that the party was more than confident that it would emerge victorious at the Apex Court especially from the concrete and convincing evidence presented at both the Tribunal and the Appeal Court which ultimately lead to our party’s success.
