However, while Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, who happens to be the former Minister of Aviation in Nigeria and Tinubu's spokesperson was reacting to this on his official Twitter handle this evening, he said he was respected Jackson Ude a lot but, there is no truth in his recent claim.
He said, "I have respect for Jackson Ude, whom I have known for many years, but I have to say that there is NOT ONE iota of truth in this report."
Further talking, Fani-Kayode claimed that, "It is nothing but pure, unadulterated, undiluted and pre-meditated FAKE NEWS and it is designed to create dissafection, chaos, fear and panic."
According to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)'s recent statement was an attempt to blackmail the court and emasculate the judiciary's freedom to fulfill its duties in accordance with the dictates of the law.
In his final written address against the petition of Peter Obi and the Labour Party, the counsel for President Bola Tinubu and his deputy, led by Wole Olanipekun (SAN), said Tinubu, then candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), scored 25% of the lawful votes cast in the 36 states and FCT, adding that any other interpretation would lead to chaos and anarchy in the country.
However, the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, issued a statement headlined "APC's Threats to Democracy" in response.
Also said to be meeting with the President were the Governors Hope Uzodimma (Imo), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun).
