ABUJA: Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike on Thursday dismissed, as fraudulent, claims by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP that a Court of Appeal judgment had invalidated the high court decision recognizing the caretaker committee that produced the party’s current National Working Committee.
Describing those behind the claim as “419s of different types and forms”, Wike, who spoke with journalists after inspecting projects in Abuja, warned that a lawyer could face derobement over the matter, saying it was “unfortunate” that a legal practitioner would put out information different from what the court actually decided.
“When a lawyer will come out to give different information, different from what the court has said, it is really unfortunate. You went on appeal and they say your appeal is dismissed. If your appeal was upheld, then you would have said, oh, it is correct, your appeal was upheld. But they said your appeal is hereby dismissed. There is no life in it again. What it means is that you have lost and you have lost,” the minister said.
