Presidential Tribunal : We’ll expose INEC, Pter Obi’s lawyer declares
According to him, he will focus on the most important witnesses in the case in the three weeks allotted to his team to present their case.
Livy Uzoukwu (SAN), the leading counsel of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has vowed to expose the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for allegedly withholding essential documents, alleging that the electoral umpire is probably trying to manipulate the documents, before releasing them.
According to him, he will focus on the most important witnesses in the case in the three weeks allotted to his team to present their case.
Uzoukwu said this during an interview with journalists Tuesday at the tribunal pre-hearing in Abuja.
“We have written five letters indicating to pay and that we’re ready to collect those documents. The letters were duly received and endorsed by INEC. Why are they telling lies to say that we couldn’t pay? This is very unfortunate.
“What about the documents we have collected? Don’t we pay for them? Of course, we paid for them and those ones were given to us but refused to give us others,” he said.
Obi’s lawyer also said his party would serve INEC a subpoena as soon as hearing resumes May 30 (a day after inauguration), to compel them to produce the documents.
