Taraba Mandate Group (TMG) has described as laughable, the denial, by the flag governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Aisha Al-Hassan of saying in the video that has gone viral that she was very close to the judge presiding over her electoral case.
In a statement today, the Group’s public relations officer, Gani Bako said that the denial showed the crisis of charater in the APC’s candidate.
The statement said that the watery explanations which APC has been giving over the leaked video where Aisha Alhassan, among other things, boasted that she had fore knowledge of the Appeal court judgement, is sad.
“Apart from making lousy attempts to deny even the very existence of the damaging video, APC is now resorting to the usual blackmail as if it was the PDP that cooked up the video.
“Unfortunately for Aisha, the video is already out there and is trending.”
The statement recalled that in the video, Aisha clearly said she knew that the appeal court judgement was going her way days before the verdict was read.
“How did she know? Does she have an undue knowledge of the inner workings of the Judiciary? Are parties supposed to know anything about their suits while undergoing considerations? By saying she knew the outcome of the judgement, is she not indicting the Judiciary? That they probably leak such information out to parties?”
The Group insisted that Aisha’s claim of closeness to the top hierarchy of the Judiciary should be investigated by the relevant agencies of the government. [myad]
