Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, on Sunday said that he had yet to offer any legal opinion on the developments which followed
the June 27 judgment that sacked Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.
The minister, through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Salihu Isah, asked parties to the case to await decisions of the court.
Malami, denied having a hand in INEC’s decision to issue a certificate of return to Ogah.
Isah said the INEC had yet to seek the minister’s opinion on the issue and that the minister had yet to offer any.
He described as “crass lies” alleged insinuations “being peddled and disseminated by a cross-section of Nigerians and the various media platforms that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation is behind the legal logjam over the Abia state governorship seat.”
