Labour Party Prepares 36 Witnesses In Certificate Forgery Case Against Enugu State Governor, Peter MbahThe governorship Election Petition Tribunal is entertaining the petition filed by Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party against Peter Mbah of the PDP.
Numa stated that they would need five weeks to call the witnesses and that they had agreed that the witnesses under their control would require 15 minutes for cross examination.Responding, Mbah's and the PDP's attorneys, Mr Wole Olanikpekun and Mr Tochukwu Maduka, argued that the FCT High Court had handled the question of alleged certificate fabrication because there was a leave of appeal and that sections 177 and 182 of the constitution had decided the problem.
“177 and 182 of the constitution are mutually exclusive, 182 has elaboration than 177, so they are two separate provisions that stand on their own. I therefore invite your Lordship to decline those invitations,” he was quoted as saying.
