A spokesperson for the Labour Party, Ndi Kato, has responded to claims from the ruling party APC that members of the Labour were plotting to install an interim government in place of the inauguration on May 29.
Ms Kato called it a distractive tactic employed by the ruling party to pull attention from the court cases. She says that nobody on the “Obidient” side wanted an insurrection. Ms Kato said, “we are in court to test the judicial system just as our principal said.”
Kato claims that there is a “concerted effort to smear obidients” as agents of destabilization. She said, “the size of the movement threatened the ruling party, so they labelled them as insurrectionists.
She says that the obidient movement had its eyes on the court proceedings and would not be distracted from them.
