All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council has said the alleged attack on the secretary of the Election Petition Tribunal, Mike David, has further exposed the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to its own atrocities against democracy.


All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council has said the alleged attack on the secretary of the Election Petition Tribunal, Mike David, has further exposed the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to its own atrocities against democracy.
  
In a statement, on Monday, the Director, Media and Publicity of APC Campaign Council, Kingsley Fanwo, noted that the alleged attack was nothing but a desperate move by SDP in Kogi and ethnic jingoists to paint the state in unsafe colours by orchestrating attacks on the tribunal secretary.
  
According to him, the move was to cover up their already exposed plans of filing a petition against the November 11 election outside the period allowed under the Electoral Act.
  
Fanwo said the alleged attack was a lie and warped strategy of the SDP, as the purported attack on the tribunal secretary was said to have occurred on the day their dubious, anti-democratic plan was exposed. 
  
He said: “Why was he not attacked before the midnight of December 3, 2023, when the 21 days window closed? Why is the SDP the first to know about the purported attack? How did they know that he was working on their so-called petition at the time he was allegedly attacked? Why has the SDP turned themselves to the advocate for the secretary? The public cannot be misled. The people know exactly what is happening.”
