The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is using the social media to bully and terrorise justices, the Supreme Court has alleged.
Justice of the Supreme Court, Inyang Okoro made this allegation on Friday, while delivering judgment in an appeal filed by the PDP seeking to void the election of President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the grounds that his running mate, Kashim Shettima, was guilty of double nomination.
The five-member panel of the apex court dismissed the appeal and held that the appellant had no locus standi to institute the suit.
Okoro held that the appellant tried to mislead the apex court by claiming that the lower court found that there was indeed a double nomination.
He said, “The appellant stated to this court that the court below found that there was indeed double nomination and that the 4th respondent knowingly allowed himself to be nominated in two constituencies.
“I have searched the entirety of the record and indeed the judgement of the court below and there is no such finding. To think that learned senior counsel will mislead the court is sad.
