The lawyer said:

In the last twenty-four (24) hours or so, the social media space has been agog with a trending unsigned letter in respect of appointment of Presidential Election Petition Legal Team by All Progressives Congress (APC) wherein my name is listed as number 10.

“With all due respect, I wish to state that I had no prior knowledge of the said appointment. As a matter of fact, I have not received any official communication on the subject matter hitherto. Suffice it to say that I was taken by surprise to hear of the said appointment vide social media.”

Akubo however revealed he could not defend the former Lagos governor for personal reasons even if such contemplations were being made.

He said;

In the circumstance and for personal reasons, I hereby decline the said appointment.”

Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party are seeking to contest Mr Tinubu’s victory in court which could last for several months.
