Babatunde Fashola, the former Minister of Works and Housing, has strongly refuted baseless and defamatory allegations claiming that he was involved in drafting the judgment for the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) Judges. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria has categorically denied any connection to such activities and has expressed his disappointment with the spread of false information on social media platforms.
In response to these serious allegations, Mr. Fashola has called upon the relevant security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action against those responsible for spreading this misinformation campaign targeted at him and the judiciary. He emphasized the need to unmask the perpetrators and their sponsors, ensuring they face the legal consequences for their actions.
Mr. Fashola has been away from Abuja for an extended period of time, making the claims completely unfounded. He condemned those behind these dangerous allegations, referring to them as agents of destabilization.
Taking a proactive approach, Mr. Fashola has initiated the process of filing formal petitions against the offensive tweets and online reports with the management of the microblogging site, X (formerly known as Twitter), and the National Communications Commission (NCC).
The former Minister urges the public to disregard these false allegations and encourages them to report any individuals involved in spreading such dangerous fabrications to the relevant security agencies.
He firmly believes that these allegations may be part of a wider campaign to undermine the judiciary, emphasizing the importance of preserving judicial independence and ensuring those responsible face the consequences of their actions.
