…Tasks APC to come clean
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), om Monday, September 11, 2023, declared that having meticulously examined the “scandalous” inscription of the Header of Tinubu Presidential Legal Team (TPLT) on the Certified True Copies (CTC) of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) judgement currently in circulation, it was clear that the claim of the legal team is self-indicting.
It particularly said that the Tinubu Legal Team should disclose to Nigerians what specific time on Friday, September 8, 2023 they received their CTC; what time specifically was the ‘watermark’ imprinted of the document, the identity of the electronic devise with which the ‘watermark’ was made as well as the PDF used in the said watermarking process for independent analysis.
The PDP particularly said that the knee-jerk admission by the Tinubu Legal Team that it “scanned and watermarked” its copy of the judgment with the inscription, “Tinubu Presidential Legal Team ‘TPLT’ has lend credence to widespread public insinuation of pre-determined manipulation by the APC.
The opposition party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba further said that the rush by the TPLT in admitting that it imprinted on the CTC of the judgment smacks of a desperate attempt to dispel public scrutiny and ward off the possibility of more revelations regarding the issue.
Ologunagba said that the PDP and indeed majority of Nigerians are not satisfied with the claims by the Tinubu Legal Team, stressing that this was especially as further examination and expert analysis showed that the documents are not scanned and that the TPLT inscriptions are not watermarks but computer default header which usually originates from an author of a document.
The PDP therefore demanded that the Tinubu Legal Team should explain how what obviously is a default header on its computer system should be accepted as a watermark.
The Party demanded that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should come clean on the issue especially given its notoriety for manipulations.
