The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called President Bola Tinubu’s legal team’s admission that it wrote “Tinubu Presidential Legal Team” (TPLT) on the Certified True Copies (CTC) of the ruling from the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) that is now being distributed as “self indicting.”

The PDP portrayed the explanation as a last-ditch effort to quell public scrutiny and prevent further revelations about the matter in a statement released on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has been accused of premeditatedly manipulating the tribunal’s verdict, according to the PDP, and their ‘knee-jerk’ admission that they “scanned and watermarked” their copy of the ruling only serves to support that accusation.

The President Election Petitions Tribunal, or PEPT, just made a copy of its decision available, according to OBASANJO NEWS24.

to Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, the respective presidential contenders for the Labour Party, LP, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The change came as a result of the tribunal’s decision to uphold President Bola Tinubu’s election.

The decision was made regarding the petitions Atiku and Obi filed to contest the declaration of Tinubu as the victor of the February 25 presidential election.

On the Certified True Copies (CTC) of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) ruling, though, are photographs that have been circulating online that read “Tinubu Presidential Legal Team” (TPLT).

While Tinubu’s legal counsel said that the inscription was a “watermark” it created on its own copies of the court decision, PDP is asserting that it was not.

The majority of Nigerians, according to the PDP, were not pleased with the legal counsel for Tinubu’s assertions.
