The court is set just as we’re set to keep you all informed of the proceedings.
You’d recall that #PEPTLiveUpdates : Labour Party arrives court with more Evidences (video).
Peter Gregory Obi and His team are all seated as the legal team are all looking vivacious.
First Matter Today is Allied People’s Movement (APM) v APC v INEC!
Just for Informational Purposes: Remember I reported APM’s matter was adjourned to today the last time they were in court to see whether the decision of the Supreme Court in the PDP matter against APC on Shettima’s double nomination spelt the end of their matter.
That’s because the only ground in their petition is Shettima’s DOUBLE NOMINATION. Nothing Else! Today, they said they have still not seen the judgement so they requested for an adjournment till next week Friday. ADJOURNMENT Approved by the Justice!
Counsel Appearances Ongoing
LP is Being Ably Led Today by Dr Livy Uzoukwu!
Every time they Mention Vincent Otaokpukpu
Everyone Erupts in Laughter

One of the Justices just asked whether it’s because his name means “bone crusher” that’s why Labour Party made him sit next to the APC & Tinubu Corner

LP: We are ready to continue with Further tendering of documents
We filed a schedule comprising the documents we intend to tender this morning
Shall We Proced My Lord?
Peter Afuba SAN (Former Attorney Gen and Commissioner for Justice Under PO as Gov) Will Take Charge of Documents Presentation Today!
LP: We are ready to continue with Further tendering of documents. We filed a schedule comprising the documents we intend to tender this morning.
Court: You have up till 1pm
LP: Yes. Peter Afuba SAN will conduct the proceedings.
Court: Okay
LP: Before we continue with other states, we crave your permission to tender two other states that were not finished yesterday, that is Niger state and Rivers state. We tagged them as Supplementary documents.
In respect to Rivers, we have INEC CTC of form EC8s of 6 LGAs. These are:
1. Bonni LGA
2. Eleme
3. Abua Odua
4. Okirika
5. Ahorda East
6. Oyigbo
We respectfully seek to tender them in evidence.
Court: Any objection?
INEC: We will be objecting to the admissibility of these documents. Arguments in this respect were taken on the 30th of May. Issues were not joined in these LGAs and we’ll be advancing our grounds in Final Address. They are strange to the petition.
Court: You said you’ll mention in the Final Adress? When the court rules you don’t argue.
INEC: Sorry my Lords, it’s because news were being made in the media
Court: (cutting him short) Yes who is next?
2nd & 3rd Respondent: We oppose and will advance in Final address
4th Respondent: We object to the admissibility and will articulate our arguments in final address.
I am coming back shortly….
