Press Release
My
attention has just been drawn to an obnoxious publication of an interview that
I never granted. In the fake interview, I was alleged to have condemned the
judgment of the Court of Appeal in respect of the governorship election in Akwa Ibom
State . I did not grant
the interview ascribed to me by the hack writers. In fact, I could not have
condemned the judgment as it is well grounded in law. The so called interview
is a hatchet job in every material particular.
Those
who know me will attest to the fact that I have never supported the rigging of
elections in any manner whatsoever and howsoever. Hence, I have consistently
supported the use of PVC and Card Readers which were strenuously opposed by
election manipulators in the country. As a lawyer, I have never represented
election riggers in any court or tribunal. As a public commentator, I have
regularly advocated for the prosecution of election riggers in Nigeria and in
other African countries.
