on a side note;

due to the high rate of fake news & propaganda making nairaland frontpage,we have decided to create a thread to counter those fake news & propaganda.
It's also disheartening that those news are spread by big news outlets & blogs, nevertheless, it's our duty to mitigate their acceptability to the general public.

Don't trust that news yet!

Oga, you're back here again! For people who say that their candidate was rightfully announced president, y'all ( you ) seem to be way too bothered about what happenes in court & you're somewhat too all over the place. Can you just chill with the rejoinders & allow the op give us updates in peace?!!! Gosh!!!

The Court just noted that they tendered some of these same LGAs yesterday (Kaduna North & South).

Prof. Ananaba paul noted that they were not complete and seek to be added.

The court noted that this will give them difficult in marking the Exhibits as they have been marked already.
