The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State has advised the All Progressives Congress (APC) to report whatever grievances it has against the tribunal judges on the rulings in the election petition tribunals to the National Judicial Council (NJC).

Defending the tribunal rulings, the party said the judges cannot be held responsible for the way the APC cases went, adding that APC knew from the beginning that they had no case and only went to the tribunal as ‘a face-saving mechanism’.

The party advised the APC to stop the buck passing attitude, saying they lost, because of the filing of defective processes, and their inability to substantiate their claims at the tribunal.

Spokesman of the party in the state, Mr. Ini Ememobong, stated this yesterday in Uyo in response to allegations of injustice at the tribunal by the youth wing of the APC.

The APC youths had called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, to intervene.

He urged the public to ignore the utterances of APC in the state, adding that the people had stated through their votes that Akwa Ibom State was not a fertile ground for the APC.
