The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the
alleged telephone conversation between President Bola Tinubu and the Chief
Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Olukayode Ariwoola over the outcome of the
presidential election petition as mischievous and intentionally misleading.
A Twitter user, Jackson Ude had in a tweet alleged that the
CJN had through a telephone conversation advised president Tinubu and the APC
to get ready for a rerun of the 2023 presidential election.
Reacting to the allegation on Wednesday, the party in a
statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka said Ude fabricated
a falsehood on a matter of serious national importance that is actively under
review by the Presidential Election Petitions Court
He explained that 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.
The APC expressed confidence that “Nigerians are smarter and
more discerning to be affected by this opposition brand of tasteless and crass
mercenary expeditions.”
