You suffered ‘technical glitch’ in your own case – Kenneth Okonkwo mocks INEC.

A chieftain of the Labour Party, LP, Kenneth Okonkwo has hit the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, saying the commission suffered a ‘technical glitch’ in its own case.

Okonkwo stated this in a post via his Twitter handle on Monday.

The Labour Party chieftain said INEC failed to begin its defence at the presidential election petition tribunal on Monday.


Okonkwo claimed the electoral commission might have had a ”technical glitch”, leading to the absence of its witnesses.

Recall that INEC started its defence of the February 25 presidential election on a shaky note, with its witnesses absent at the Court on Monday.

The commission’s lead counsel, Abubakar Balarabe Mahmood, SAN, had informed the court of his plan to call three witnesses to counter LP’s allegations and its Presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi.

However, he lamented that none of the witnesses was in court for domestic reasons, pleading with the court to bear with him while applying for an adjournment of his defence.

The court later adjourned to July 4 for the continuation of the hearing.

However, Okonkwo said INEC’s inability to open its defence amounted to a waste of fuel, which he accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, government of raising beyond the reach of ordinary Nigerians.

Okonkwo stated, ”Today (sic) was slated for INEC to open their case at the Presidential Election Petition Court. Not surprisingly, they failed to produce any witness, claiming their witness disappointed them. Must INEC continue to have a “technical glitch” even in their own case?

“What a waste of fuel, which this APC government has raised beyond the reach of ordinary Nigerians like us. The petition is adjourned to tomorrow, July 4 2023, for the continuation of the hearing.”

All those two know is just to copy and paste from their SWAGA group chat. Common sense will tell anyone that the only reason why the other Presidents were allowed to rig and rule is because the cabal rigged it for them. Baba on the other hand decided to snatch it and run with it.

EU gave them TKO last week. Basically, EU, who is their major sponsor told them that if they produce any nonsense explanation they are done for. So therefore their case don collapse.
