APC National Chairman, Oyegun denies calling for the probe of Supreme Court Judges over their ruling on Rivers state

APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, has
denied media reports that he called for the probe
of Supreme Court judges after they ruled in favor
of PDP in the Rivers state governorship election
matter. The reports had alleged that he said this
while speaking with some Rivers state APC
members who paid him a visit at the party
secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday February 3rd.
Oyegun who denied the report in a statement
released by the party's National Secretary, Mala
Buni, said at no time during their discussion did
he call for such probe.
He said one of his remarks was that the verdict
from the Supreme Court judges was astonishing.
"The party wishes to deny this report in the
strongest terms. As much as he expressed
‘total astonishment’ over the ruling of the
Supreme Court, the National Chairman of
the Party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, never
called for the investigation of Supreme
Court judges. 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. What transpired at
the meeting was correctly reported in other
media outlets. Given that the author of the
Vanguard report was not physically at the
venue of this event, but relied on this
statement, it is baffling that he gave this
slant to the story,” the statement read
