The All Progressives Congress APC, has debunked allegation that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had a telephone conversation with the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
President Tinubu was alleged to have called the CJN over a matter of serious national importance that is actively under review by the Presidential Election Petitions Court.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Felix Morka described as mischievous and intentionally misleading tweet by one Mr Jackson Ude who alleged that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had a telephone conversation with the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
Report by NTA said that Mr Ude fabricated a falsehood on a matter actively under review by the Presidential Election Petitions tribunal.
“President Tinubu and the APC won the February 25, 2023 Presidential election without a doubt,” and do not have any need to engage in side conversations with the CJN regarding pending petitions before the PEPC,” it said.
It says ” Nigerians are smarter and more discerning than to be affected by this opposition brand of tasteless and crass mercenary expedition.”
