Presidential Election Petitions Court has criticised the Labour Party )LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for exhibiting a lack of preparedness in
At the resumed hearing yesterday one of the senior lawyers in the petitioners’ legal team, Emeka Okpoko, sought to tender electoral documents as exhibits before the court but the documents were said to not have been properly filed and scheduled before the court.
Consequently, the court stepped down the hearing for 10 minutes and asked the legal team to re-file the schedule of documents in line with the provisions of the pre-hearing report. According to Channels TV, after the court reconvened, the petitioners’ legal team still seemed uncoordinated. Displeased, the five-man panel of justices led by Haruna Tsammani advised the petitioners to seek an adjournment to enable them properly arrange their documents.
They described what was done yesterday as a waste of time, saying that the counsel to the petitioners underrated the kind of job they had to do.
