Speaking also at the rally, the member representing Obio/Akpor constituency at the National Assembly, Hon Kinsley Chinda, said the black protest by All Progressives Congress in Port Harcourt on Monday, was aimed at influencing the judgment at the tribu­nal in Abuja, saying that the judges are seasoned judges who cannot be influenced by giving its ruling based on law and facts.

“We know that what they are doing will not influence the judgment at the court. The judges at the court of Appeal are seasoned judges. They will pass judgment based on laws and facts before them and not based on drama and sentiments,” he stated.
