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.

Fuel Scarcity Hits Cross River, Leaving Passengers Stranded

Gasoline shortage has returned to Cross River State 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu declared the termination of gasoline subsidies.

In his inaugural speech, Tinubu claimed that the gasoline subsidy, which had been a persistent issue in the country, particularly between Organized Labour and the Federal Government, was no longer in effect.

On Tuesday morning, it was discovered that most of the fuel stations that supplied the product 24 hours a day were all locked up, leaving residents stranded.

According to reports, the Atimbo region of Calabar has six operating fuel stations, all of which were locked and not dispensing petroleum products.

Even though two of these fuel stations had fuel trucks arrive to discharge petroleum products, they were still not selling.

A male official at one of the petrol stations, who declined to speak on the situation, stated that they were merely carrying out directions.

Mr. Effiong Nsa, a minibus driver, stated that the majority of the fuel stations that were closed had the products and sold fuel the day before.
