A non-governmental organisation, Face Of Waziri-Nigeria (FOWN), has threatened to stage a protest to resist any attempt to witch-hunt Judges at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).
Members of the group also vowed to besiege government establishments if there is any directive to witch-hunt certain Justices of the Tribunal and Petitioners’ lawyers.
The group in statement signed by its Director-General, Comrade Bukky Adeniyi, claimed that after a covert meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday, July 21, 2023, a group of people had been saddled with the responsibility of going after the PEPT Judges on trump-up charges.
Adeniyi stated that: “The President just rose from a meeting with Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, the Director General of the State Security Service and Chairman ICPC.
“They have a specific instruction to go after the Tribunal Judges and lawyers of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and that of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi .
“We are much aware that this is
sequel to our recent revelation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s nefarious moves to muzzle the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), seeing clearly the odds are against him in the case before the tribunal.
“It is pertinent to state that FOWN is quite on tab with the situation at hand and we will not rest on our oars to keep Nigerians updated.
“Tinubu’s anti-masses moves further lay credence to all we have been saying and if Justice is not served, Nigerians will be worse-off thereafter.
“He and his party, APC, want to set Nigeria on fire by this new onslaught and we shall not hesitate to ground the country, if any attempt is made on the Tribunal Justices, lawyers of Alhaji Atiku Abubarka and Mr. Peter Obi.”
FOWN claimed that whatever sins the targeted Judges might have committed in the past, Nigerians have forgiven them for the sake of what it capped important presidential election matter.
