‘I Say The Truth Even If I’m Obi’s Lawyer’ – Jibrin Okutepa (SAN)

"Gist"

A renowned Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist, Jibrin Okutepa (SAN) has called out those are linking the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, with the alleged news of Bola Tinubu meeting with the CJN.

Okutepa noted that Peter Obi does not support or promote fake news.

He added that those who are attributing the news of CJN disguising to meet a named politician to Peter Obi are mischievous and satanic.

The popular lawyer said that the former Anambra State governor has respect and strong confidence in the judiciary and that is the main reason he approached the court for justice.

Speaking further, he said that they all prayed for justice and the justice they prayed for is what they are expecting to get and that those who are attributing the news which was intended to denigrate the CJN to Peter Obi’s camp are evil and enemies of Nigeria.

An online news platform recently reported that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola disguised himself, so as to meet with the APC presidential candidate and President elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in London.

Some Nigerians attributed the news to the camp of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.
