The Exola Tv had reported that a US based investigative journalist, Jackson Udeh alleged former governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola is reportedly writing judgement for the judges presiding over the presidential election petition tribunal.
The investigative journalist alleged that Fashola was also responsible for writing similar judgement for the judges that presided over the 2019 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal .
However, former governor Fashola, through his aide, Hakeem Bello, described the report as defamatory and aimed at influencing the decision of the PEPT.
“Fashola expressed his disappointment with the spread of this false information on social media platforms and has called on security agencies to take action against those responsible for spreading fake news.
“In response to the allegation, Fashola clarified that he has been away from Abuja for an extended period of time, rendering the claims entirely unfounded.
“The former minister believes that these allegations may be part of a wider campaign to undermine the judiciary by those who seek to manipulate the institution for their own gain.
“He emphasizes the importance of unmasking the perpetrators and their sponsors and ensuring that they face the appropriate legal consequences,” the statement reads.
