Nigerian Twitter abuzz over alleged resignation of Justice Ugo

Nigeria’s Twitter sphere has been set ablaze with reactions following the alleged resignation of Justice Boloukuoromo Moses Ugo from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) panel. The news of the resignation, which has not been officially confirmed, has sparked intense discussions on the social media platform, IDOMA VOICE reports.

Mayowa Olagunju, a Twitter user with the handle @iam_doctormayor, expressed caution in spreading unverified information about Justice Ugo’s resignation without concrete evidence. He called for a new Nigeria where justice prevails, and the government works for the benefit of Nigerians. His tweet also addressed concerns over fuel prices and the exchange rate of the Naira to the dollar.

Another Twitter user, @prosperstouch, claimed that Governor Wike of Rivers State was allegedly briefing Supreme Court Justices and members of the Presidential Panel in Spain to manipulate election petitions in favor of Bola Tinubu. The tweet suggested a motive behind Justice Ugo’s alleged resignation and accused the Chief Justice of Nigeria of spreading falsehoods.

@omoelerinjare, a Peter Obi stan supporter, recalled the 2019 presidential tribunal, where there were allegations that Justice Zainab A. Bulkachuwa would subvert justice. He drew a parallel to the current situation with Justice Ugo’s alleged resignation.

Journalist Jackson Ude, with the handle @jacksonpbn, shared a news headline announcing the alleged resignation of Justice Ugo. The tweet described the move as shocking and unprecedented, with Justice Ugo citing pressure from the executive branch as the reason for his resignation.

Twitter user @Jack_ng01 addressed Justice Ugo directly, urging him to come forward and reveal the parties involved in the alleged suppression of evidence and attempts to sway rulings in their favor. The tweet emphasized the need for transparency and called for a hero to rescue Nigeria.

@omoelerinjare urged caution and emphasized waiting for official confirmation of Justice Ugo’s resignation. The tweet also raised suspicions about Justice Haruna Tsamani, expressing concern about potential biases.

@democracy_watch expressed fear that if the courts rule in favor of Tinubu and the allegations surrounding Justice Ugo’s resignation are true, Nigeria may face severe unrest, and the country could be permanently divided.

The reactions on Twitter highlight the intense public interest in the alleged resignation of Justice Ugo and underscore the importance of transparency and justice in Nigeria’s legal system. As the situation unfolds, Nigerians remain engaged and concerned about the implications for the country’s democracy and political landscape.
