The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the PDP to stop denigrating the judiciary by suggesting that Tribunal judges handling the various election petitions can be influenced.

The party said the Federal Government will not micromanage the judiciary.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the PDP has been throwing wild allegations against the Tribunals in Rivers and other states because the party knows it stole the votes in those states.

”The affected states are the cash cows of the PDP, hence the party is so jittery about losing the states, which they know they did not win in the first instance.

”We have confidence in the ability of the Tribunals to carry out their duties diligently and without fear or favour. We implore the PDP to be charitable enough to repose the same confidence in the Tribunals,” it said
