Peter Obi, Labour Party Call 1st Witness Against Tinubu, APC

The Labour Party and its Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, have opened their petition against President Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), by calling one witness out of the 50 proposed.

Before the witness, who is a lawyer and hails from Anambra testified, counsel to Peter Obi, Jibrin Okutepa, tendered a judgment from a district court in the United States, which reportedly indicted Tinubu and ordered his forfeiture of 460,000 dollars in drug-related offences.

The hearing commenced, led in evidence by Okutepa, with an Anambra-based lawyer and LP witness, Lawrence Nwakaeti, tendering the certified true copy of the US district court judgment.

After cross-examination, counsel to Tinubu, Wole Olanipekun, said the witness admitted that the judgment was not registered in Nigeria.

The lawyer also admitted that there was no certificate from any consular in Nigeria or America in support of the judgment but insisted that the judgment speaks for itself.

The Presidential Election Petitions Court reconvened after a week to begin the definite hearing in the petitions by the Presidential Candidates of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), alongside their parties, challenging Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 election.

New Low, Adamawa REC Announces Fake Election Result

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared as “null, void and of no effect”, the declaration of Aishatu Dahiru as the winner of the governorship election in Adamawa state.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari had declared Senator Dahiru of the All Progressive Congress (APC) winner of the poll without giving figures.

Prior to her declaration, Binani was trailing behind Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the People’s Democratic Party, who had established a margin of lead of 31,249 votes.

While the drama in was unfolding, Dahiru went ahead to deliver an acceptance speech.

But speaking about the matter, INEC National Commissioner, Festus Okoye, asked Nigerians to disregard the pronouncement at the collation center as it has been suspended.

He said the commission has summoned the REC and other officials, who usurped the duties of the returning officer to Abuja and they would face a panel at the INEC headquarters.

Okoye also tasked security agencies to arrest and prosecute those who brutalized one of its national commissioners deployed to Adamawa State for the supplementary governorship poll.
