APC’s claims on transition committee diversionary, says PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as diversionary and unnecessary claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that it is not cooperating with the Presidency in the transition process.

This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Olisa Metuh, PDP National Publicity, in Abuja on Friday.

Metuh charged the APC to put its house in order, come straight and tell the nation the confusion in its camp instead of trying to shift blames.

Twist as appeal committee chair sacks NFF boss, Pinnick

Barely 24 hours after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Electoral Appeals Committee upheld the 30 September polls that produced the Amaju Pinnick-led executive, the Chairman of the Committee, Okey Ajunwa, has nullified the same elections.

Ajunwa’s ruling which annulled the election of Amaju Pinnick and Seyi Akinwunmi as Chairman and Vice of the NFA board contradicts the ruling of three other members of the committee who upheld the polls on Wednesday.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Mr. Ajunwa said other committee members who “hastily” upheld the September polls are not legal practitioners and were ignorant of the law.

“None of them is a lawyer, I am the lawyer and I know the law, I have gathered the results of the committee and I will read them out in accordance with FIFA and CAF rules,” Mr. Ajunwa told journalist Thursday in Abuja.
