The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and the party plan to call 50 witnesses in prosecuting their petition before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).

Their lawyer, Awa Kalu (SAN) announced this a moment ago in the ongoing pre-hearing session in the petition.

Kalu said his clients will require seven weeks to present its case because they still are still experiencing some hiccups with its dealings with INEC.

He said the petitioners are yet to conduct the court ordered forensic examination of the BVAS devices used for the last presidential election and yet to receive some of the documents requested from INEC.

Lawyer to INEC said his client plans to call five witnesses and conduct its case within seven days.

Lawyer to Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettma, Roland Otaru (SAN) said his clients will call 21 witnesses with the exclusion of other expert witnesses to be called.

Otaru said although the a law allows a respondent 10 days to conduct its case, they intend to use nine days.

Lawyer to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adeniyi Akintola (SAN) said his client plans to invite seven witnesses, excluding subpoenaed witnesses.

Akintola said the APC plans to conduct its case within nine days.

Kalu said his clients will require seven weeks to present its case because they still are still experiencing some hiccups with its dealings with INEC.

garfield1:
Too small.atiku called over 100 in 2019 and failed woefully.buhari called over 500 in 2007.you need at least 5000 witnesses to cover one unit.obi has failed

garfield1:
Infact,he's entitled to two months maximum,him and lp one month each.apc,inec and tinubu 2 weeks each.that 7 weeks is for all his cases not just to bring witnesses

Corridon:
Nigerians are solidly behind labour party.

seunmsg:
He can call 50 witness in 2 weeks. What’s the sense in asking for 7 weeks? If Atiku and the third part also ask for 7 weeks, how will the tribunal be able to decide the within the stipulated timeframe? Obi is simply trying to waste everybody’s time and nothing else.

A very interesting view point

Something tells me Obi isn't serious but let's wait and watch the drama

IVORY2009:
We full ground remain

At least, sensible Nigerians can now see who is trying to delay the quick conclusion of the case. While all other parties to the case are seeking for less than 10 days, Peter Obi is seeking for 49 days.

His deluded supporters who think the tribunal can determine the matter before May 29 can now see how Peter Obi has been taking them for a fool. Dude is just trying to remain in public spotlight for as long as possible while wasting everyone’s time. He has no case to prove.

Probably Peter Obi won the election, Atiku came second This is what these Bonzoo Clowns 🤡 want INEC to tell the Court?

Some people Mumu well well.

garfield1:
Even buhari in two years could not get enough proofs,talkless of others in 7 weeks.I think the tribunal might include Saturday or Sunday for sittings or both will be handled in one day.obi will take from 8-1.atiku from 2 till 7

IVORY2009:
What are you even upto? Peter Obi actually won the February 25th elections, Tinubu would not last long in office, the international community would not recognize his govt

favor914:
