Chris Finebone, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Wednesday, cautioned the Government of Rivers State to guard itself against “pointing accusing fingers without proof” over the attacks on former Governor Peter Odili and his family at their Abuja residence.
Finebone stated this in response to Rivers State Government’s threats to hold Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva and APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole responsible if anything happens to former governor Peter Odili and his family.
The Odili’s family house was attacked by suspected APC agents after Justice Mary Odili led a panel of five Supreme Court Justices that nullified the election of David Lyon as Bayelsa State Governor.
But according to Finebone: “It is not for me to start pointing accusing fingers at anyone or group without concrete proof.
“That will be preposterous and hasty. Maybe the Rivers State Government knows what we don’t know regarding those behind the protest against Justice Mary Odili.
“As far as I’m concerned, protesting Supreme Court judgments is bad enough, much more targeting Justice Mary Odili. I think that’s insanity taken too far.
“We cannot afford to desecrate the temple of justice because of our whimsical and capricious indiscretion and greed. I hope we do not wake up one morning and find no judiciary to run for justice because of certain selfish and greedy politicians.”
