Phrank Shaibu, a media aide to the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, raised questions on the matter in a statement on Saturday.
The five-member court unanimously dismissed all three petitions challenging Mr Tinubu’s victory in the 25 February election in its Wednesday judgement. He added that it took the lead counsel for Atiku and the PDP to write a second letter to the court, following an earlier one sent on Thursday, before the petitioners could get the judgement on Friday, hours after, he said, Mr Tinubu’s team already had custody of it.
He suggested that “unfolding developments after the court’s ruling elicit suspicions about whether or not the Tinubu Legal Team provided clerical services to the PEPC.” The speculation was rife on the internet in the weeks preceding the verdict, but no evidence was given to back it up. “The PEPC must, on its honour if indeed it still has any, clarify why the court chose to put the header of the Tinubu Legal Team on a CTC copy of its judgment document, while the only emblem that should have been on the document is the stamp of the Court of Appeal of Nigeria,” he said.
Mr Ogala said his team applied and paid the necessary fees for a certified true copy of the judgement just like the petitioners.
