An excerpt of APC and Tinubu lawyers’ response to one of the grounds of petition by Peter Obi has generated funny reactions from a section of the public who wondered how supposed trained lawyers could proffer such an argument as defense for how Obi was not qualified to run for the Presidential Election under Labour Party. They even went ahead and promised that they were going to provide a video proof of Obi swearing never to leave APGA.

One now wonders what law such swear breached. When did that become part of constitutional qualification for the position of president.

With responses like this, those who say Tinubu and INEC have no concrete response to many grounds of Obi’s petition may not be wrong.

Recall that between Thursday and Friday, Obi’s Lawyers have been able to tender Certified True Copies of Form EC8A of 12 States as evidence to the Tribunal which have all been admitted.

Obi’s lawyers say they have documents from 6 more states to tender and had requested for the case to continue today, Saturday, June 3, 2023, but Tinubu, APC and INEC lawyers pleaded with the court to adjourn till Monday, June 5, 2023.

The submission of Certified True Copies of Form EC8A of 12 States, so far, is totally different from the expectation of the respondents’ lawyers, and even the general public, who had thought that Obi would be using the IREV as his primary source of evidence.

But with the submission of the true electoral materials from the contested states, the judges would now be afforded with the true picture of the reality of what happened on Election Day which would now help them to determine if the winner announced by INEC is truly the winner of the election or was someone else denied his victory.

Where was it written and signed?

This man should understand what swearing means in law. Was Peter Obi before the Legislative Inquisition? - No

Did Peter Obi make the pronouncement in court under oath? - No

Quoting a political slogan made before a political association by misguided elements is mischievous, to say the least.

Are you saying Obidients made this up?

Lawyers are so smart... They are making Obi loose credibility before the court as a man that can't hold on to his words

This have Wole Olanipekun SAN and Niyi Akintola SAN written all over it

180 days slowly going, frivolities getting entertained


.

Peter Obi left APGA, so what?
It is not against the law to leave one political party and join another.

😀😀😀

Lol

No one is perfect. The hatred is real.

Tinubu hires those that can inhale the white substance. That's why his lawyers are high on crack.

No intelligent person can take up a job to defend Tinubu.

Funny comedians grasping at straws

. there's nothing like one Nigeria.. Nigeria is a multi ethnic republic like United Kingdom

Penguin2:

You are too childish to be engaged.

Is that an affidavit? Does that seem like legislative records to you?

Which deity did he swear to?

Get lost if you don't understand what oath means. Constituting a political statement into Oath is ridiculous. Politics is a game of interest and no one is bound to remain in an abusive marriage or an association where they have lost relevance.

A statement is not synonymous with an Oath.

This lie lie Op again..

Even Tinubu abandoned and ignored the core ideologies of then ACN and merged the party with CPC...

He also left abandoned AD

Ibos are funny... Quite emotional and less tactful

Obi is representing himself and APC lawyers are going after his credibility

A man who swore on video not to leave a party that made him two terms Governor coming to court to claim he is the president after failing to win popular vote or 2/3 majority in 26 states..

The lawyers want to make him look stupid, waste his 180 days before nailing him



.

They will soon accuse Peter Obi of always wearing black clothes which they will interpret to mean "membership in secret or occult society" which is against the constitution for anyone running for political office in Nigeria.

SANs with "empty brain".

Is Obi the dunce not doing the exact same thing?! All point raised are directly attacking Tinubu's person

Now they threw just one shot you guys can't take it

Some of these obedients are ignorantly funny. They are masturbating over certified true copies of state results that were given to them by INEC as if the results are different from what INEC declared. They have provided One single evidence of rigging yet they are making noise and misinforming gullible folks all over the place.

APC and urch1ns are in an entangled relationship with Tinubu 😂 😂 😂

Truly, INEC, APC and Tinubu got no response to the avalanche of evidence stacked against them by Peter Obi and LP reason they are now resorting to comedy show and bringing in irrelevant things


Tinubu himself betrayed Afenifere, Alliance for democracy AD, decamped and moved to Action Congress, AC, moved to Action Congress of Nigeria, then moved to APC

So you are saying that INEC gave forms EC8A of those states to LP lawyers and after LP lawyers looked at them and saw that they were the same thing as what INEC announced, they still carried it to court?

Again, are you aware that every LP polling unit agent had his or her own copy of Form EC8A from every polling unit in Nigeria which was submitted to the party?

You will soon wake up to reality.

That is what is called obita dictums in law
A statement by the way and does not form the substance of the case. It is just statement by the way.
People are too native

They want to establish that Obi's character is not to be trusted. Establishing that he is a deceitful person and prone to lying.
