The statement partly read, “We have carefully studied events in our dear state, especially as it pertains to the functioning of the local government system, and have come to the realisation that throwing our arms up in the air like Pontius Pilate or sitting in the fence will only further thin out what is left of the democratic fibre of the state.“We are shocked at the continuous gleeful disdainful treatment for a valid judgment of the Court which had sacked Tony Okocha and his group.
