| 3rd June: Lagos Governorship Election Tribunal Okays Lp's Petition: Update by Ekemini11(op): 1:19pm On Jun 03, 2023 |
The argument so far includes: 1. The validity of the petition, since the petitioner, GRV didn't include his party (Labour Party) in the petition. APC is asking the court to strike out the petition because of this. 2. The validity of Hamzat’s (APC Deputy Governor) nomination being that he has sworn an oath of allegiance. Hamzat voluntarily took a U.S citizenship, and stated so in his INEC form. 3. The candidacy of Sanwo-Olu, as well is on the line here on the case of sworn allegiance. The joint ticket is being contested for disqualification. 4. Others Court in Session: 3rd June, 2023. Proceedings - GRV and LP SAN is making his submission now. - APC Lawyers are contesting the validity of GRV petitioning without the LP party. - The judge is reading a ruling so far. APC request to strike out the petition have been ruled in favour of Labour Party. So the Petition continues. - Right now, there is a lot of back & forth on the direction for filing of documents & evidence for trial - Judges have determined that they will share in their report. - LP San: We are presenting 37 witnesses. - Judge: How many Star witnesses? - LP SAN : 4 witnesses. We ask for 12mins each for star witnesses and 7 mins for the other witnesses to present - Judges: How many days? - LP SAN: on day to day basis, we require 18 days. - Judges: what does the law say? - LP San: The law says 3 weeks, which is 21 days. For the Star witnesses we respectfully request 12 mins each & for the others 7 mins - Judge: 1st respondent INEC - INEC Lawyer: we ask for 15 mins - Judges: you are presenting them for how many days? - INEC lawyer: 5 days - Judge: Court is proposing 1hr 30mins to start from 1:30 and end by 3pm . - Judge: 2nd Respondent - SAnwoOlu Lawyer: Max 30 witnesses. 10 mins for star and regular witnesses. The short time we are taking will be compensated for cross examination. 30 mins for cross examination of Star witnesses of the petitioner and 30 mins of cross examination of other petitioners witnesses and 15 mins for other respondents witnesses. We don’t want to take more than the petitioner. We are asking for 18days of both the second and third respondent. - Judge: 4th respondent - APC lawyer: We are proposing to limit our witnesses to 20, as there is some overlap btw our witnesses of the 2nd and 3rd respondents making it 24 in total. 2 star witnesses, 20 mins each. For cross examination on star witnesses with ask for 20 mins. All others 10 mins. And 3 mins for re-examination. We won’t press beyond 10days. - SanwoOlu Lawyer: my colleague just indicated I missed out the timing for re-examination, I’m pleading for 3 mins if need be. Argument ongoing about playing flash drive and separating the time from the witnesses time Judges have agreed to give 20 mins each for playing if the content of the drive. - Judges: what’s the commitment Kn delivery of court document - GRV SAN: If the court provides direction of time, we will do all we can within the time period. Our agreement is that we should commence hearing within the 3rd week of this month Judge: which date? LP SAN: My lord we have looked at it and suggesting 20th of June subject to the court. Deliberation ongoing !!! All respondents were advised to file all their applications The date for commencement of trial will be decided at the next hearing Next court session: Mon 5th, June 2023 Source: Priscilia Amadi https://twitter.com/PrisciliaAmadi/status/1664938267282755584?t=pwLPKF1Uc-GM8myaEVIZvA&s=19

I have this calm and quiet feeling that a lot of the declared winners of the last election will bite the dust. A LOT of them will be booted out eventually. Bookmark this. |

Googledotcom:They denied "their own"?? Isn't Sanwo-Olu theirs too?? By the way,it's their internal issue,it shouldn't be a worry to u since you're an outsider.... Just do your business, get bigger and rake home your profits |

DevilsEqual:You are foolish. Every Nigerian is free to vote and decide who to govern them anywhere. I know you are a kid or unambitious person leaving with your parents. But let that sink; there are Yorubas in all parts of the country and no one is stopping them from voting. |

Ekemini11:I'm a kid? Dude, i dont even live in the SW By the way, i never talked about anyones right to vote, my worry is why u have to try divide them by saying GRV is theirs and Sanwo isnt They went for the better candidate between the two of their own and thats all...Both are theirs But in Anambra here, I Swear to the most high that in Ukpomili hall 2, ifitedunu where i was supposed to vote, Non-LP loyalists arent allowed to vote regardless of their state of origin...so ireally dont know why u made it seem like this actually happened in Lagos only and not all part of Nigeria...You're a tribal bigot! I'm obviously bigger than you and i'll never respond to your insults as i'm sure not on same level as anyone who lacks emotional maturity to hold a public convo without resorting to personality attack... |
