According to the National Secretary, Achike Chude in a release he signed stated that the petition sent by the petitioners has no substance as to disqualify those the accused.
He said, “s careful investigation of the complaints made against the duo did not produce any evidence to substantiate the allegation against them and the subsequent call for their disqualification from the Credential Committee set up to supervise the FCT Council election. The allegation against them were without merit”
