***We have not received any verdict from the Appeal Court yet
The senator representing Kogi East Senatorial District Isah Jibrin Echocho has debunked what he described as baseless and malicious rumors suggesting that he has emerged victorious in his appeal.
The senator in a statement from his media office which was made available to the National Update in Abuja on Wednesday said,
“These claims are entirely false and are the calculated work of desperate opponents aiming to disrupt the judicial process and mislead the public.
“For absolute clarity, Senator Isah Jibrin has not received any verdict from the appellate court. The senator is committed to the due process of law and eagerly awaits the unbiased and respected judgment of the court on the scheduled date.
“We strongly advise the public to disregard these deceptive falsehoods. They are nothing but the fabrications of unscrupulous individuals masquerading as politicians.
“Senator Isah Jibrin is not engaged in any desperate actions and categorically denies any attempt to preempt or interfere with the court’s decision.
The senator said he is in tune with the rule of law hence holds utmost respect for the judiciary.
He added that any premature claims suggesting otherwise are unequivocally untrue and should be treated as such.
“We appreciate your understanding and urge everyone to await the official, legitimate judgment from the appellate court.
“As for the peddler of this satanic rumour, for whatever intent, either in mockery or otherwise, posterity shall stand in verdict for us.”
