A Twitter user, @redcap_blondie has kicked against President Bola Tinubu’s N35 billion palliative to the National Judicial Council.

 

The user accused the President of using the palliative to bribe the judiciary.

 

Recall that the NJC is headed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola.

Bola Tinubu’s N35 billion to NJC is pure bribery!

Bola Tinubu has promised to distribute N500 billion as palliative to Nigerians. Out of this amount, N35 billion will be allocated to the National Judicial Council (NJC). 

The NJC is headed by Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola. Only Justice Ariwoola would know how to utilize the N35 billion. It is possible that it will be distributed among the Justices of the Supreme Court, potentially influencing their decisions in favor of a rerun instead of disqualification, especially with regards to the Presidential Election Petition.

As for the N8,000 allocated to families for six months from the N500 billion, it could be seen as a form of vote buying in anticipation of a rerun.

Bola Tinubu is undoubtedly a political strategist and a crook
