The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday produced the documents which the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, in Abuja called for on Wednesday at the instance of the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate , Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The documents contained in 55 cartons ahead of Friday ’ s sitting when the petitioners are expected to close their case .
As of Wednesday , which was the ninth of the ten days allocated to them to present their case , the petitioners had only called 58 out of its 400 proposed witnesses.

The petitioners are , by their petition , challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress at the February 23 poll.

The tribunal of five judges led by Justice Mohammed Garba had on Wednesday ordered INEC to produce the documents by noon on Thursday .
This followed the complaints by the petitioners that the subpoenas issued and served on INEC Chairman , Mahmood Yakubu , and the commission ’ s Residential Electoral Commissioner in Zamfara State to produce the documents had not been complied with.

The tribunal had on Wednesday adjourned the case till Friday , but the counsel for the PDP and Atiku , Chris Uche ( SAN ) , attended the Thursday ’ s proceedings scheduled for hearing in respect of other petitions filed by the Hope Democratic Party and the Peoples Democratic Movement.

Uche said his presence in court was to ensure INEC’ s compliance with the Wednesday ’ s order of the tribunal.

At about the time the five - man panel was to recede to chambers to write a ruling in respect of PDM ’ s petition , Uche informed the bench of his intention in court on Thursday.

In reaction , Justice Garba asked for update from INEC’ s lawyer, Yunus Usman ( SAN ).

Replying , Usman informed the tribunal that the “ documents had been substantially produced.

“ It is a very tedious task , but we have to obey the court ’ s order . ”
Within the period of the one - hour break observed by the members of the tribunal, INEC officials had brought in a total of 55 boxes of documents into the court room.

When the tribunal resumed sitting , INEC’ s lawyer informed the panel that the order of the court had been complied with

Pointing to the cartons of documents lined up in the courtroom, Usman said since the order of court was not for INEC officials on whom the subpoenas were earlier served to testify, the Director of Legal Services , Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola, was present to represent the commission.

He also said there was a cover letter signed by the secretary to INEC, Mrs. Rose Orianran- Anthony, accompanying the documents.

He noted that the request by the petitioners for result sheets for the National Assembly rerun election in Zamfara State were not available as no such election was conducted .

Woah

Who closed the case?

Awada keri-keri... [A joke of the funny type.]

BTW, who can see the link/similarities between this:

"He noted that the request by the petitioners for result sheets for the national assembly rerun election in Zamfara State were not available as no such election was conducted."

and the PDP's request for INEC to produce "The Central Server into which INEC [supposedly] electronically transmitted election results from the polling stations?"

Well....as a Nigerian, I know that PDP will not win an incumbent president in court (they know it too) but the Judiciary will give Atiku little wins here and there to make them feel happy and strengthen the people's faith.


Lets all stop wasting time, join hands and move the country forward.


Don't dare Click HERE!!!

INEC are very mischievous. 55 cartons. That's like telling them to kill themselves with paper work upon paper work, which they will end up finding nothing after wasting tons of time.

Lol... Till u dry, pls keep d case on. We kukuma know say u only coming to that side.

lol

Clown

It's better this way, he's going to get a fair hearing... Buhari's judiciary stooges will never let him win

Lol

Good.
.
Even if the Buhari imposed Election Tribunal refuses to grant justice, just bring all the evidences to proof to the world that Buhari is not a saint he paint himself as but a cheap crook that stole the peoples mandate to grab a 2nd term he didnt deserve.

And most importantly, the RCCG ministry shld be forced to suspend and strip the fake Pastot Osibanjo of his pastoral post for being part of this monumental fraud of election and celebrating the scam reelection in church of God.

closes case ke??! where??

Abeg someone should explain better.

Seriously yorubas have killed the standard of Nigeria media, it's sad

This is a terrible case. could not even meet up with 20% of the witnesses and worst of all, those called gave very shoddy testimonies. Horrrible horrible. How is Atiku coming this way?

Nigerians know Atiku won that Election same as Adeleke but since the introduction of Yoruba's in the judicial system truth and facts doesn't matter but technicalities are considered therefore preventing the course of justice ...My conclusion is the Yoruba's are enemy of our country cowards that's why I'm glad as Fulani's are visiting them slowly and soon invade ooni's palace

Even if they find out that Atiku is the winner las las you think Bubu will hand over for this 9ja wey we dey so it’s impossicant

useless set of people

K

ayam not understanding

babadeee:

That's the problem. Buhari that doesn't obey court order. Man didn't obey court order on dasuki. Didn't obey court order on El zakzaky. Will he then obey the court if they miraculously grant atiku victory? And if he doesn't, will the rubber stamped senate impeach him?

You enjoy derailing threads with these dry jokes.. Don't make me insult you o

How can Atiku win Buhari? He even lost his PU....
