The Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi in their petition against the victory of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday presented a Channels TV reporter, Lucky Isawode as a witness.

The lawyer representing APC and Tinubu, however, objected attempt to call a Channels TV reporter as a witness in court.

Arise TV giving insight into the development in a series of posts on Twitter wrote, “In the hearing of Labour Party petition, Channels TV reporter, Lucky Isawode, has taken to the witness stand to give his witness statement.

“Labour Party Lawyer, Jibril Okutepa informed the Court that Mr Isawode had to appear as Labour Party witness following the issuance of two sets of subpoenas to the TV stations.

“The dates of the subpoenas dated 30th May and 6th June 2023, are addressed to the Director and CEO of Channels TV.

“Counsel to Bola Tinubu, Akin Olujimi objects to the competence of the witness to testify in the proceedings on grounds of it being in breach of the Electoral Act.

“He says the witness statement of this kind should have come with the petition. Adding that the witness statement was filed and served on him today, Friday 9th June, which is past the 21-day period within which petitions challenging the outcome of elections are to be filed.

“He also says the witness isn’t listed among the list of witnesses by the Labour Party.

“The subpoena requests the witness to produce a live interview of the Chairman of INEC, Mahmoud Yakubu and Festus Okoye, an INEC National Commissioner.

“The witness brought a flash drive which Tinubu’s lawyer, Akin Olujimi describes as “unknown” adding that he isn’t prepared for it.

“Mr Olujimi says having not served the exhibits on them, Tinubu and APC say it will be against their right to a fair hearing.

“INEC’s lawyer, Kemi Pinhero, also objects to allowing Mr Isawode to appear as a witness of the Labour Party.

“The Court however states that doesn’t stop its admissibility, as they can be played on another date, when they must have had ample time to study the content.

“Two flash drives with the video evidence were tendered in the exhibit and adopted by the Court.”

Them APC never see anything

With the the way things are going, fraudster Mahmud Yakubu might end up objecting the whole presidential election results. An umpire playing the role of a political party.

“Mr Olujimi says having not served the exhibits on them, Tinubu and APC say it will be against their right to a fair hearing.

“INEC’s lawyer, Kemi Pinhero, also objects to allowing Mr Isawode to appear as a witness of the Labour Party.

Agbado lawyers want Obi to present his exhibit to them first before presenting it to court. What a audacity? These people behaves as if they own the court.

Why does it seems INEC chairman, Mahmud Yakubu is having personal feud with Peter Obi?

==> Mahmud Yakubu's children vowed never to come back to Nigeria if Obi wins 2023 presidential election. What concerns jobless Yakubu's children who are living like kings in US with Obi's presidency?

==> INEC twitter handler liked a post where Seun Kuti insulted Peter Obi by calling him an opportunist. NNPC and Lagos police social media handlers also did the same thing.

==> Obi's votes in the South were surpressed but Tinubu's votes were inflated beyond reasoning. How can Tinubu who lost Lagos and Osun conviniently wins Rivers?

==> Obi's votes in the north were surpressed while Atiku's votes were inflated. How can Atiku wins any state in the south-south? This is like Obi winning states in the North-East.

==> INEC instead of staying neutral is using task payers money to frustrate Obi's case at the tribunal. What concerned defending election results with electronic transmission of tribunal proceedings? Why objecting to your own certified documents?

==> Mahmood Yakubu, a fraudster's through INEC is more desperate than Tinubu at the tribunal. INEC is now denying that certified documents they issued to Labour Party. It's funny but sad.

The question is, is Mahmud Yakubu doing these for ethnic, religious or financial reason? Because I don't understand.

I love what the Judges are doing at the moment. They might play the trump card, oh I mean Tin**** card at the last minute. But as it is the masses will give the final verdict, not the court. All Labour Party is doing is to present before the Grand jury of masses evidences of who won the 2023 elections.

They have been cornered, and now they are most desperate and dangerous.
