APC crisis: Party chieftain sends message to Tinubu
“WE ARE IN COURT. WE ARE LAW-ABIDING. AT OUR LEVEL, EVEN WHEN A JUDGEMENT IS GOTTEN FROM THE TOILET, WE WILL ABIDE BY IT. BUT WE HAVE APPLIED TO THE COURT OF APPEAL FOR A STAY OF EXECUTION AND AN INVALIDATION OF THAT JUDGMENT.
“WE ARE NOT FIGHTING FISTICUFFS. WE WILL USE THE LAW AND WE ARE READY TO GO THE WHOLE HUG TO THE SUPREME COURT.
“THE SUPREME COURT HAD RULED BEFORE THAT THE COURTS SHOULD NOT MEDDLE IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF THE PARTY. THE TASK OF PICKING A PARTY CHAIRMAN IS AN INTERNAL AFFAIR OF THE PARTY.”
