The All Progressive Congress, (APC), has described as ‘frivolous, the suit filed by the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) seeking the removal of Governor Mai Mala Buni, who also doubles as chairman care taker committee of the party.
The APC, in a statement in Abuja said “Our attention has been drawn to a purported court action sponsored by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against His Excellency, Mai Mala Buni, Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and Governor of Yobe State.
“While we are constrained from and reluctant to comment on the PDP’s misplaced and frivolous court action because it will be sub judice, the PDP leadership is obviously executing a desperate and poorly-scripted propaganda plot aimed at deflecting attention from the crisis of confidence the failed opposition party faces.”
The statement, signed by the secretary of the caretaker committee, Senator James Akpanudoedehe stated further “The PDP are ignominious rablerousers and have no locus to take any action on the internal affairs of the APC.
“The Supreme Court has already affirmed the status and legality of the CECPC and that is all there is to it.
“There are clearly spelt out punitive measures against abuse of court processes. We are confident that the Judiciary will apply these measures fully.”
