ASHENEWS reports that a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani Kayode has described as savage, the allegations that the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court was written and drafted by the President’s lawyers.
Kayode, in a statement issued on Monday said that the allegations are attempts by some persons to provoke anger, disorder, violent protests, anarchy and chaos in the land.
“This is surely the most insidious, savage, blatant and vicious attack on the integrity of the Judiciary in the history of our country.
“The inscription and wording that made reference to the President’s lawyers at the top of a copy of the judgement has, in my view, been eloquently and adequately explained away by Babatunde Ogala SAN who is the coordinator of President Bola Tinubu’s legal team.
“Any suggestion that there is more to it than that and that there is something fishy and sinister going on is rooted in mischief and deceit and is little better than an ill-conceived, ill-contrived, far-fetched and hullucinatory conspiracy theory cooked up by deluded and depraved minds and lost souls.
“Those that are spreading this potpourri of falsehood and filth and that are making these dangerous and grave allegations are working towards an answer and looking for some non-existent evidence to discredit the judgement, bring into question the entire judicial process, delegitimise the President’s mandate and stigmatise and pour scorn, contempt and opprobrium on the election itself.”
The statement warned those peddling the rumor to desist from such attempts to destabilize the country.
“Simply put they want to pull the whole house down and throw the baby out with the bath water simply because they know that they lost the election and that they have no case and no hope in hell of winning at the Supreme Court.
“They seek to destabilise our nation with classic Goebellian propaganda, misinformation and disinfirnation mainly through the auspices of the social media and they are fully committed to the cause of inspiring and provoking violence, treason, rebellion, revolution and insurrection for no just cause and truncating democracy,” he said.
