APC counters Atiku over allegations of undermining judiciary
The All Progressives Congress has dismissed an allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, that it is plotting to intimidate members of the judiciary towards unduly influencing the outcome of pending cases before the court.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka, in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, said Abubakar and his party offered no evidence to support their allegations that the February 25 presidential election was characterised by irregularities.

“Our attention has been drawn to a press statement by a media aide to Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the PDP.
“The statement alleges that the APC and its government are engaged in a plot to intimidate members of the judiciary towards unduly influencing the outcome of pending cases before the court.
“Atiku Abubakar and his minions offered no evidence to support their wild, hollow and mischievous allegations.
“Quite frankly, there is nothing in Abubakar’s statement, that is worth a reaction from the APC,” Morka said.
