Recall the candidates of the Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the presidential election, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, respectively, submitted petitions
challenging the outcome of the election held on February 25, which produced Bola Tinubu as president.
Exposed!! Popular Abuja doctor revealed how men can naturally and permanently cure poor erection, quick ejaculation, small and shameful manhood without side effects. Even if you are hypertensive or diabetic . Stop the use of hard drugs for sex!! It kills!
Many supporters of Obi are optimistic about the final verdict of the court favouring the former Anambra state governor, Vanguard reported.
As Nigerians await the final decision of the tribunal on the petitions challenging the election of President Tinubu, some rumour peddlers are currently on rampage disseminating unverified/unsubstantiated stories.
A report emerged online purporting that a member of the court’s five-member panel, Justice Boloukuoromo Ugo tendered his resignation following alleged pressure from the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The development was later debunked by the court.
Prior to the report of Ugo’s resignation, the Supreme Court denied a similar allegation stating that the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Olukayode Ariwoola, purportedly had a telephone call with President Tinubu with respect to the latter’s case before the presidential election court.Channels Television reported on this.
The claims alleged that Tinubu and the CJN recently had a phone conversation discussing how to pressurise the presidential election court in a bid to rule in favour of the APC.
Also, social media reports said Ariwoola had a phone call with the director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, concerning proceedings involving Tinubu at the court.
However, a statement issued by the Supreme Court’s director of press, Festus Akande, said the apex court was not aware of the purported call allegedly meant to manipulate the outcome of the petitions, The Punchreported.
In the same vein, President Tinubu’s party, the APC, denied the allegation of a phone conversation between the CJN and the President.
One, a reverse image check done by AmbaJay showed that the picture used to depict the arson is a picture of the Igbosere court in Lagos state set ablaze by hoodlums who hijacked the #ENDSARS protests in 2020.
Two, neither Justice Tsammani nor the court has issued a final verdict ruling against President Tinubu. Therefore, the claim/post/publication is cooked up.
In a piece of related news, AmbaJay reported that the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not be overturned by the Supreme Court, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
The analysts noted that “frustration with the two-party system was made evident by support for Peter Obi of the fringe Labour Party (LP) in the presidential election”, predicting that the former Anambra state governor will be a formidable force by 2027…..CONTINUE READING
