Why Tinubu's legal team placed a watermark on the PEPT verdict

The Tinubu Presidential Legal Team has replied to the debate surrounding its use of a watermark on copies of the Presidential Elections Petition Tribunal’s ruling that have been widely disseminated.

The watermarked copy had caused uproar, particularly on social media where detractors claimed a nefarious action.

In a statement released on Saturday in response to the criticism, TPLT coordinator Babatunde Ogala chastised the critics for implying that the watermark was the result of predetermined manipulations and insisted that there was nothing suspicious about it.

He clarified that they watermarked their copy of the decision after receiving it from the Court of Appeal and then distributed the scanned copies to the team members.

“Following some malicious insinuations being made in some quarters regarding the innocent water-mark of copies of the consolidated judgment of the Court of Appeal with the inscription -“Tinubu Presidential Legal Team “TPLT,” it has become necessary to offer this clarification,” the statement read.

“The Court directed its registry to make physical copies of the rulings available on September 7, 2023, following the Court of Appeal’s delivery of its decision in the three (three) election petitions on September 6, 2023.

“Therefore, the Tinubu Presidential Legal Team asked for and paid for a Certified True Copy of the aforementioned ruling.

“PDP’s attorneys were in attendance at the registry simultaneously to collect the same judgment.

In actuality, the PDP delegate took possession of the first copy that the register made accessible.

As soon as we received our own copy, we scanned it and promptly added the watermark “Tinubu Presidential Legal Team ‘TPLT'” before sending the scanned soft copies to the attorneys on our team.

“The aforementioned inscription is not present in the Certified True Copy that the registry supplied to us and the other parties to the petitions, and any suggestion to the contrary is false.
