The Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday explained why it rejected documents tendered by the Labour Party and its candidate, Peter Obi, to aid his petition against the election of President Bola Tinubu.
The court thereafter admitted results from 21 LGAs in Adamawa and marked them as Exhibits PH 1 to PH 21; it also admitted results of the presidential election from eight LGAs in Bayelsa and marked them as Exhibits PJ1 to PJ 8.
Further tendered were results from 20 LGAs in Lagos state which were admitted as Exhibits PM 1 – PM 20, with results from 31 LGAs in Akwa Ibom accepted in evidence as Exhibits PN 1 – PN 31. According to the faction, the advice became necessary following the incident which happened at the tribunal on Thursday where the court stepped down hearing the petition filed by Obi and the LP against the election of President Bola Tinubu.
It insisted that the position of the LP on the removal of fuel subsidy during its campaign had not changed, adding that it “cannot reverse that position because it was not our candidate that won the presidential election.
