The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, accused Sahara Reporters of being procured by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to mount a coordinated attack on the Judiciary.
The party, via its official twitter handle, said that it has observed series of misleading reports by the online media, deliberately aimed at tarnishing the image of Nigeria’s judiciary.
The PDP further alleged that Yele Sowore of Sahara Reporters has been working with the EFCC & the Presidency to tarnish the image of some judges.

but also to divert attention from the failures of the present administration, it’s lack of capacity and economic direction.
