Investigative journalist, David Hundeyin has alleged that President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu is making several attempts to impede the announcement of the judgment by the petition tribunal court which is scheduled for May 26.

In a tweet on Monday, May 22, Hundeyin said "that @officialABAT is trying to lean on
@MBuhari to declare a public holiday on Friday 26 May, which is the date the supreme court is supposed to deliver the judgment that could disqualify him."

He continued: "He has also tasked Lagos State governor @jidesanwoolu and his money launderer-in-chief Gilbert Chagoury to raise a total of N100bn with which to approach the supreme court justices. Sunlight is the best disinfectant so kindly retweet!"

Meanwhile, the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has refused to allow live television broadcasts of an opposition challenge to Bola Tinubu’s victory in February’s fiercely contested presidential election.

Lawyers for defeated candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi argued that was in the public interest for the hearings to be broadcast live.

But fives judges unanimously turned down their request,

“The mere sentimental claim that it [live broadcasts] will benefit the voters has no utilitarian value on the matters before the court,” Justice Haruna Tsammani, who handed down the ruling, is quoted by Nigeria’s Daily Trust newspaper as saying.
