A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Pius Akubo has rejected the appointment to the legal team of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

A few days ago, the All Progressives Congress, APC, had constituted its Presidential Election Petition Team.

Akubo was one of the 12 legal luminaries with vast experience in election matters, constitutional laws, and litigation constituted by the APC.

The legal team is expected to defend Tinubu’s win in the last presidential election.

However, Akubo said he was unaware of the appointment, stressing that Tinubu’s camp has not officially informed him.

In a statement, Akubo said: “In the last twenty-four hours or so, the social media space has been agog with a trending unsigned letter in respect of appointment of Presidential Election Petition Legal Team by APC, wherein my name is listed as number 10.

“With all due respect, I wish to state that I had no prior knowledge of the said appointment. As a matter of fact, I have not received any official communication on the subject matter hitherto.”

Akubo stressed that he can’t defend the President-elect due to personal reasons.

“In the circumstance and for personal reasons, I hereby decline the said appointment,” he added.

During an open interview among men about domestic violence, some men came out boldly to tell the audience that they beat their wives at home. Some good men amongst them said it is never a good thing to beat your wife and they also condemned the act of domestic violence. During the interview which was held in Kenya, a particular man boldly said he's one of the men who beat up their wives at home and he has reasons for that. He said that it's a normal thing in Africa for a man to beat his wife so that his wife will respect him. He said he and other African men do it so that their wives will give 'em the respect they deserve. He said if you don't beat your wife, she would never respect you and also treat you like a nobody. (Typical African mentality). Someone also said ...

One man brought Modi Sheriff as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.  This same man brought Uche Secondus as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.  The same man actively supported Iyorcha Ayu as National Chairman of PDP.
