FCT, Abuja – A Facebook post attributed a controversial statement to Justice Monica Bolna’an Dongban-Mensem, the president of the court of appeal.
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that in September 2023, the presidential election tribunal rejected challenges by opposition leaders to Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s win in the February 2023 disputed poll.
The post reads:
The claim can also be found here, and here.
But is it true that after the appeal court president said the 2023 presidential election tribunal was offered bribes? A fact-checking platform, Africa Check, investigated.
Following its scrutiny, the fact-checking platform ruled that there is no evidence that Justice Dongban-Mensem made the statement attributed to her.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Middle-Belt Pan Nigerian Forum, representing a coalition of Civil Society Organisations, called upon Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi, to accept the results of the 2023 Nigerian general elections and proceed forward.
In a statement released by Danladi Ceceko, the spokesperson for the group, the coalition affirmed that the election outcomes, culminating in the triumph of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), mirrored the desires of the Nigerian populace.
