Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has declared that the leaked bribery audio circulating on social media was aimed at tarnishing the image of the party.
This was contained in a statement by the APC publicity secretary in the State, Yusuf Idris Gusau.
He said in the statement that, “It should be made categorically clear that Anas Sani Anka is not a card carrying member nor a good supporter of the APC in any way.
“He is not an executive member of the party nor has he ever held a political appointment under the APC government; thus, he couldn’t have in any way spoken on behalf of the APC.
“It is our strong belief that having seen the way the Tribunal processes are currently going, indicating that the APC is likely going to reclaim its mandate, the PDP is coming all out to shred the process.
“Distinguished Senator Abdul Aziz Yari, who Anas claimed to have collected money from, has been out of the country for a long time.
“PDP must know that the Nigerian judiciary cannot be intimidated with the frivolous unguarded allegations advanced by the PDP through Anas because we already know their gimmick and it will fall.”
Yusuf Idris Gusau urged all relevant security apparatus “to uncover all those behind this cowardly act, including the person that made the recording.”
“Let the PDP understand that the judiciary is an independent body and that no amount of intimidation or abuse will deter it from doing justice to all Nigerian citizens, irrespective of their religion or political affiliation.
“We are calling on our supporters in the state to remain calm as we are confident in the Nigeria judiciary and justice will be done to us,” he declared.
