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.

Why Women Contract HIV More Than Men Finally Explained wanisheik Aug 27, 2021 Over the years, females all over the world have contracted HIV more than their male counterparts. But that wasn' t what we were made to believe in the past. There used to be a perception that men were at a higher risk of contracting the virus than women. As of mid- 1996, the Joint UN Program on AIDS evaluated that out of the twenty- five million adults infected with HIV, over ten million are women. The percentage of women who test positive for HIV has been on the rise, with nearly half of the 7500 new cases recorded daily found among them. Also, most cases of the virus detected in women are in developing countries. The Ghana Aids Commission states that of the 342, 307 people living with HIV in Ghana, 122, 231 are males whereas 219, 986 are females.
