Rivers governorship poll: I didn’t call for probe of Supreme Court judges – Odigie-Oyegun

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has denied calling for the probe of the justices of the Supreme Court based on their judgement on the Rivers State governorship election.
Odigie-Oyegun said what he said when he received chieftains of the APC from rivers State, led by its governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, was just to express surprise at the judgement.
In a statement, the party denied the report in the strongest terms.
It said though Odigie-Oyegun expressed “total astonishment” at the ruling of the Supreme Court, he never called for the investigation of the apex court judges.
The statement added: “Indeed, a copy of the statement issued following Chief Odigie-Oyegun’s meeting with the APC delegation from Rivers State was widely circulated. At no time during the meeting or in the statement referred to did the National Chairman make such a call for the probe of Supreme Court Judges….
“The party wishes to affirm that Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has the highest regards for the judiciary.”
