ADC Campaign: Transferring Case to Lifu Deliberate, to Frustrate Us Despite Protest
• Accuses judge of refusing to release CTC of judgement • Berates Tinubu’s campaign council, says re-election messages divisive and empty Chuks Okocha in Abuja African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused Justice Peter Lifu of deliberately transferring their case to frustrate it, despite the party previously protesting the decision. According to the ADC-PCC, Justice Emeka Nwite was already hearing the case when it was transferred to Justice Lifu. The ADC-PCC claims Justice Tsoho, who assigned the case to Justice Lifu, displayed bias, leading to a judgement they allege is "brazenly rascally."
The party demands the immediate release of the full judgment and requests to know the reasoning behind the transfer. The ADC-PCC also asserts that Justice Tsoho faced inquiries over undeclared bank accounts and alleged financial impropriety. They urge the National Judicial Council to examine the transfer, the protest Justice Tsoho received, and Justice Lifu's conduct, emphasizing the need for a fair hearing for the ADC.
