There is apprehension at the Election Petition Tribunal as the Labour Party legal team has set up a presentation monitor to play a recording of Mahmood Yakubu’s speech on transmission of election results for the judges.
Peter Obi and the Labour Party has set up a presentation monitor to play a recording of Mahmood Yakubu’s speech on transmission of election results for the judges.
They are challenging the victory of Bola Tinubu of All Progressives Congress in the February 25 presidential election.
The tribunal has resumed from its recess and is ready to take the case of Peter Obi vs INEC, Tinubu/Shettima and the APC.
The petitioner is continuing with the tendering of evidence in the form of INEC certified documents and witnesses.
Unlike other previous proceedings, the courtroom this afternoon has two giant TV sets, stationed on both sides of the hall.
Levi Uzoukwu leads a team of counsels for Obi and LP petitioner, while Akin Olujimi leads the legal team representing President Tinubu and the APC
After announcing their presence in court, the counsel to the petitioner informs the court that he is beginning by calling a witness which was subpoenaed. He also informs the court that the testimony will require a team of ICT experts as it involves the use of recorded material.
Meanwhile, Counsel to Tinubu submits that having not served him before the proceedings of today, the court should not admit it.
The court, however, overrules the objection that not being served should not stop the court from admitting the document (flash drive).
Updates soon…
