In other news, THE WHISTLER reports that INEC and Obi’s legal team have been at loggerheads over access to certified true copies of electoral materials, since the Presidential Election Petition Court commenced sitting on May 30.
Obi’s lawyer, J.S Okutepa SAN, told the court that INEC is frustrating his case because he has severally written to them and served them with subpoenas for all the electoral documents they require to prove their case but the electoral umpire “refused” to give it to the legal team despite paying for most of them.
He added in open court that INEC rejected copies of subpoena served on them knowing full well that “this is a proceedings that is time bound.”
“I have done everything humanly possible. This afternoon, INEC released a few IREV reports from Lagos (7LGAs) and Gombe(2 LGAs) states. These documents were certified on May 29,” Okutepa said.
But INEC’s lawyer, A.B Mahmoud SAN, denied it saying no new letter was brought to his attention and it is only one letter he received from Obi’s lead counsel, Livy Uzoukwu SAN, so far.
“I received a letter from Livy Uzoukwu dated May 15 and never saw any other one,” Mahmoud said, adding that INEC never denied them any documents and that documents that have been tendered by Obi so far came from INEC.
Amid the counter accusations between the two, the counsel for Tinubu, Wole Olanipekun SAN, told the court that he will meet with lawyers representing INEC and Obi and see how they can resolve their issues.
Meanwhile, the court led by Justice Haruna Tsammani told the legal team of INEC and Obi to cooperate with each other for the seamless conduct of proceedings.
Subsequently, the court adjourned the petition to Tuesday for continuation of hearing.
