A photograph of Chief Justice Olukayode Ariwoola in a wheelchair at an airport has recently gone viral on social media, igniting widespread speculation about a secretive meeting in London.

The image has sparked numerous questions regarding Ariwoola’s motives for the disguise and raised concerns about the impartiality of Nigeria’s highest judicial authority.

The alleged clandestine meeting comes amidst ongoing legal challenges surrounding the recent election of President-elect Bola Tinubu, further heightening public interest in the matter

The photo, which first appeared on social media platforms, shows Ariwoola in a wheelchair, appearing to be physically challenged, as he navigates through the airport terminal.

Subsequent reports, including an exclusive article by Peoples Gazette, have alleged that Ariwoola traveled to London to meet secretly with Tinubu.

Although the exact purpose of the meeting remains unknown, it is believed that it could be related to the legal challenges facing Tinubu’s election as president.

Reactions to the viral photo have been diverse, with many expressing shock and disappointment in Ariwoola’s actions, while others have called for a thorough investigation into the matter.

Some have even questioned the credibility of the entire judicial system, given that the Chief Justice is allegedly involved in such secretive activities.

Nigeria’s legal and political communities have also weighed in on the issue, with some commentators arguing that Ariwoola’s actions undermine the impartiality of the judiciary.

They point out that the Supreme Court, under Ariwoola’s leadership, has already faced scrutiny due to controversial judgments, such as the return of Hope Uzodinma as governor in Imo and the enforcement of Ahmad Lawan as the APC candidate in Yobe North Senatorial District.

In response to the viral photo and subsequent allegations, representatives of the Supreme Court and the National Judicial Council have declined to comment.  Likewise, Tinubu’s spokespersons have not yet addressed the issue.

This silence has only fueled further speculation and calls for transparency from the nation’s highest legal and political authorities.

As Nigerians continue to demand answers, the potential ramifications of this alleged secret meeting could have lasting impacts on the credibility of the country’s legal system.

Moreover, the outcome of the ongoing legal challenges to Tinubu’s election may be viewed with skepticism by the public, regardless of the final verdict.

In the meantime, the viral photo serves as a potent reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the actions of public officials.

With both the legal and political communities under the microscope, all eyes will be on the developments surrounding this controversial situation.
