The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Monday said it would be difficult to continue with his petition against President Bola Tinubu due to the refusal of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to provide the documents.
Obi and the LP are petitioners in the petition marked CA/PEPC/03/2023 challenging the election of President Bola Tinubu and his vice, KashimShettima.
Respondents are the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The LP and Obi told the Presidential Election Petition Court that due to INEC ‘s refusal to provide them the documents they asked for, they couldn’t go on with their case.
Counsel to LP, Jubrin Okutepa, told the court that all the documents his client asked for from INEC were not provided.
“We are bringing this to your notice for your intervention because we have done everything humanly possible.
“This afternoon, INEC released a few IreV reports from Lagos and Gombe. These documents were certified since May 29.
” We have severally written letters detailing the documents we needed in the proof of our petition. We have paid for most of these documents.”
