Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayoode Ariwoola, has denied
rumours that he had a telephone conversation with President Bola Tinubu and
the Director-General of Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, over
the pending post-election petitions before the Presidential Election Petitions
Court.
Ariwoola said the judiciary has no plans to favour any of the petitioners and the
respondents in the petitions pending before the court, especially Tinubu, the
Peopes Democratic Party (PDP)’s Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party (LP)’s
Peter Obi.
In a statement by the Director of Information of the Supreme Court, Dr Festus
Akande on Wednesday, the CJN said there is no iota of truth in the narrative in
the social media.
