PRESS STATEMENT
ON PURPORTED APC CONGRESSES IN RIVERS STATE:
Tony Okocha is trampling on the rule of law and he knows it. The very same thing both he and his paymaster has been shouting against others is what they have been dancing naked doing. The worry is not just that we all can see liars masquerading as democrats but it is worse that these liars are also hypocrites.
We are aware they have filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal, yet they do not have confidence or maybe should we say they are over confident with whatever the outcome will be or like hypocritical seers, they are now telling Nigerians that the blindfold on the Lady Justice has truly been removed.
Democracy is hinged on the rule of law. We cannot set new rules in the middle of the game.
This same APC in Rivers in 2018, went ahead against the order of court to conduct a Congress and the consequences became fatal in 2019 when a party with government at the center could not field candidates at all levels in the state for the first time in the history of democracy in Nigeria.
Good students of history choose to learn from the past rather than allow history repeat itself.
Participating in a Congress today will amount to spitting on the judgement of Justice Sika Aprioku.
