No i never asked for Supreme Court judges probe - APC Chairman

The Chairman of All Progressive Congress,John Oyegun,has denied demanding for the probe of Supreme Court Judges that upheld the elections of Abia,Rivers and Akwa Ibom state governors.
The denial was contained in a statement issued by the APC's national secretary,Mala Buni,on Thursday,stating that “Oyegun Calls for Probe of Supreme Court Judges” was false.
“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,” it said.

He however said that Mr.Oyegun “has the highest regards for the judiciary”.
