Anifowose stated that APC leaders have been pleading with her to drop the case. She stated that her refusal to do so has angered the chieftains of the party.

She said:

''They have come to beg me, it was when I refused that they began the plan to get rid of me. But their plans have been exposed to me, I know all of them.''

According to Vanguard, the politician vowed to pursue her case against the governor to a logical conclusion.

The former governorship aspirant faulted her reported suspension from the APC for alleged anti-party activities.

Anifowose is challenging the validity of Rotimi Akeredolu’s emergence as the governorship candidate of the APC in the Ondo guber poll.

She lost the case at the Federal High Court in Abuja court but is threatening to appeal the judgment.

In another report, the crisis rocking the Imo chapter of the APC has taken another twist as the state government verbally attacked Senator Rochas Okorocha for alleging that Governor Hope Uzodinma ordered the invasion of his daughter's warehouse.
