Retired former Supreme Court Justice, Mary Peter-Odili has denied engaging in negotiations with judges of the court of appeal and the apex court to ensure that President Bola Tinubu gets a favourable judgment at the election petition tribunal.
Reacting to the claim through her spokesperson Felix Enebeli, Odili described it as “false and malicious”. She added that her lawyers are on the issue and have demanded a retraction and public apology from Jackson Ude, a Twitter user who is allegedly behind the claim.
The statement read;
