The South-West chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed surprise that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Niyi Akintola, could say the party never won any election in the South-West in 2007 and has, therefore, demanded an apology from him within seven days or he would be reported to the disciplinary committee of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA).
The party said it was shocked to hear a man who was paid by the PDP to defend its interest in the Agagu/Mimiko case now repudiating the very essence of the case for which he was paid.
Akintola was quoted on Tuesday by a national newspaper (not the Nigerian Tribune) as asking the PDP not to blame the judiciary for its loss of some states at the Court of Appeal, saying that it never won any election in the first place.
The PDP, in a statement on Tuesday by its national vice chairman (South-West), Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo, said it was unfortunate that Akintola, who was the lawyer for the party in Ondo State governorship tussle, could turn round to say such.
