Former Vice President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has asked the chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to refrain from interfering in the pending corruption suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja filed by the minister of state for Labour, Festus Keyamo against him (Atiku).
The former vice president in a letter to the chairman, Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), through his lawyer, Prof. Mike A. A. Ozekhome, SAN, said he was surprised to read in the media that Keyamo reportedly responded to the Bureau’s invitation to shed more light on his complaints.
Atiku noted that it is highly inappropriate for a party to a suit to take any extra-judicial steps, or to embark on any course of action that is either tantamount to, or calculated to undermine the authority and integrity of the court, which is dominus litis over the proceedings.
“Such behavior is as condemnable as it is unacceptable,” he said.
