Today’s court case is the shortest and the most Annoying since the Presidential election Petition Tribunal started.
See all that happened below :
REPRESENTATIONS:
LP – Peter Obi for himself and Labour Party
INEC – Mrs. May, INEC Chair, Legal Services
APC- Saturday Monsigie, Deputy Director Legal Services APC
COUNSELS:
LP: SAN Awa Kalu
INEC: SAN AB Mahmoud
Tinubu and Shettima: SAN Onipekun
APC: SAN LO Fagbemi
SAN Kalu for LP is now on his feet.
SAN Kalu: Our plan is to start with documents presentation. Unfortunately we encountered some problems at our secretariat. 2 of our key staff fell ill suddenly. For this reason, we are pleading for an adjournment to tomorrow. Tomorrow only.
Justice Tsammani: What about necessities?
SAN Kalu: We have spoken about paragragh 4 just yesterday but the situation has suddenly changed. My lord, with the greatest humility and apology, I plead for tomoroow morning adjournment if my application is granted.
Justice Tsammani: Thank You
INEC AB Mahmoud: I thought the learned counsel would have given us heads up on this, but it is their case and I will not object this adjournment. But this must be counted as one of their days in their allocated time.
Justice Tsammiani; Of course, they are eating into their own time.
AB Mahmoud: So no objection
Ladies and Gentlemen….. There was no hearing today for the Labour party.
..
We can all trek home angry…..
May ask this bring justice at last
