TheAll Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders have mocked the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for organising an “embarrassing 8-man protest” in London against the judgment of the Kano state Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which sacked Gov. Abba Yusuf.
TheHintsNews reports that since the Kano State governorship election petition tribunal judgement which sacked NNPC’s Yusuf, the Kano State government have being peddling lies against the judiciary, the federal government and indeed dragging the image of APC on a daily basis.
The stakeholders under the banner of National Coalition of APC Progressives Stakeholders said it was shameful that Yusuf and the Kwankwasiyya Movement only got eight persons for a protest which targeted about 1,000 people, a sign that Nigerians both home and in the diaspora accepted the judgment in good faith.
Its National Secretary, Isabella Odunayo, who spoke on behalf of others at a press conference on Monday in Abuja said the London protest was organised after a failed attempt to discredit the tribunal judgement.
She added that it was barbaric and indeed archaic for the NNPP to toe the part of blackmail calling for justice in far away London when justice has already been served with the judgment of the tribunal.
Odunayo noted they decided to address the press in order to respond to some of the lies being circulated by the NNPP
She stated: “After failed attempts to discredit the tribunal ruling, the NNPP desperation took them to London where it sponsored a protest to blackmail the federal government and discredit the tribunal judgment, unknowingly to the organizers, Nigerians in diaspora had watch clips of the jubilation that trailed the APC victory at the tribunal thereby Nigerians in London ignored the sponsored protest.
“It is shameful that Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf and the Kwankwasiyya Movement only got eight persons for a protest which targeted about 1,000 people, a sign that Nigerians both home and in the diaspora accepted the judgment in good faith.
“The NNPP should be aware that the judiciary cannot be intimidated by its threat as security agencies in Nigeria are fully prepared to secure the Country. The eight people led by Dr Aminu Bello who embarrassed themselves yesterday (on Sunday) in London does not represent the interest of Nigerians.”
