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 Zoning of 2023 Presidency to the South could affect PDP's chances of victory:Membis247Blog

Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is no doubt, very anxious to reclaim the power that it lost in 2015. At the same time, the party is faced with a tough decision ahead of the 2023 presidential election. It should be recalled that for a while now, governors elected under the party, have continued to insist that the party’s presidential ticket should be zoned to the Southern region. Image Credit: Google The decision of the PDP Governors, to insist on a southern candidate, is based on the fact that the incumbent President, is from the Northern region, and the party’s ticket for the 2019 election, went to the Northern region. However, such a move could affect the party’s chances of victory at the 2023 presidential election. The reason for this is that zoning of the ticket, would limit the party’s choice of candidate ahead of the election. Image Credit: Google Should the party zone its ticket to the Southern region, all eligible aspirants from the North wi...
