LP, Peter Obi Join Atiku/PDP's Call For Live Proceedings Of Tribunal Sittings by politicoNG: 5:26pm On May 10, 2023
The Labour Party and its Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi said they are in support of the request by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar for live broadcast of the proceedings of the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting in Abuja.

Counsel to the Labour Party and its Presidential candidate, Dr. Livy Uzuokwu (SAN) made this known on Wednesday while speaking with newsmen after the court adjourned pre-hearing session in their petition challenging the election of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

Uzoukwu said it has become imperative to have the proceedings covered live so that Nigerians will have first hand information on what goes on at the Court and will clear doubts in the minds of millions of Nigerians.

He said live broadcast of court proceedings was initiated by colonial masters but jettisoned when Nigeria got independence.

He said, with the realities on ground, live broadcast of court proceedings has become imperative and that Obi and the Labour Party are in total support of the request by Atiku and his party.

For instance, he said the court room cannot conveniently accommodate 200 people and the 200 people cannot adequately represent Nigerians, adding that if the proceedings are broadcast live, Nigerians will be better informed.

“During the hearing of the motion on notice by Atiku and the PDP, Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Mr. Obi will be fully in support”, the senior lawyer said.

Meanwhile, further pre-hearing session in the petition of LP and Obi has been shifted to May 17 by the Presidential Election Petition Court.

The pre-hearing session was shifted at the request of LP and Its presidential candidate to enable them consolidate on processes so far filed and those yet to be filed.

Following the request of counsel to Obi to the effect, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani in a brief ruling granted the application and fixed next week Wednesday as the return date.

Damn!

Obi my real niggar! Meanwhile, news has it that Tinubu has flown to France for medical treatment. Does this means Tinubu is above the courts in Nigeria? This is a man who ought to be in court to defend his bribery but he cowardly Ran away. I expect the judges to nullify and disqualify Tinubu with immediate effect! Man will be worst than buhari by far. Obi should quickly recover his stolen mandate for sanity to restore to Nigeria.

PDP and his children are confused.

I listened to a radio Raypower to be precised this morning where the commentators said that the supreme court held that form" EC8 "as signed by the political party agents, police and inec in the day of election is supreme. Bvas or IREV whatever are just secondary.

Bad news for Obidients and dino malaye.
funny enough labour party that didn't have agent is some of the polling units are claiming of winning election.

Tinubu don japa to Europe because him, his party-APC, and INEC are scared to death about a live transmission of an election tribunal proceedings. Every sane Nigeria should now know that the grand electoral heist of February 25th 2023 was real

Live broadcast would have been the way to go but I doubt the powers that be in the judiciary (which may have already been compromised) will want to allow that.

These cases are a huge test for our judicial system.

This proceedings are supposed to be aired live because it's of great national interest as the whole world is keenly watching how the judiciary system of the acclaimed giant of Africa can give an unbiased judgement/rulling regarding the presidential elections razzmatazz

Haahahaaahahaa..

Ok Naa..
Let's still be observing the tribunal proceedings..




**Meanwhile.....

GIVE US THE “REMOTE ONLINE REALTIME ELECTRONIC VOTING OPTION” FOR THOSE WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE PHYSICALLY THERE PRESENT AT THE POLLING-UNITS TO VOTE..

AND THEN, PROVIDE THE ONSITE REALTIME AND INSTANT ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES AT THE POLLING-UNITS FOR THE TECH-SAVVY VOTERS THAT ARE PRESENT...

WHILE THE TRADITIONAL “BVAS-ACCREDITATION, PAPER-VOTING, INSTANT ONLINE REALTIME ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION-AND-COLLATION OPTION” WOULD STILL BE VERY MUCH AVAILABLE FOR THOSE PERSONS WHO STILL PREFER TO VOTE WITH THE BALLOT PAPERS..

Is this the first Election Petition Tribunal in Nigeria? Why should this be different? Because he is Peter Obi or what?

And I want to believe there is a reason it is not broadcast live. Whatever it is, the Tribunal should stick to the rules, no need changing any rule because of one man.

Coming late to the party kind of. Medicine after death.

An earlier collaboration of this nature before the election proper could have given them victory on a joint ticket. They are now learning the hard way and collaborating under duress.

Making strategies after a failed election is the hall mark of any unserious politician. Leave this one and plan for 2027.

It's unfair to change the Goalpost in the middle of the game! Let proceedings continue in the same way they've been conducting them until the relevant statutes are amended. This is not the first Tribunal to handle presidential election issues. But when it concerns Eboes, they'll either wail marginalisation or Give me Biafra or death! We all are entitled to equality before the Law.
