Peter Obi Tenders Evidence During Presidential Tribunal Sitting

Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, provided key documents from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during a session of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

Obi’s legal team presented EC40G forms from ten Local Government Areas in Niger State.

The EC40G form is used by INEC to record the total number of polling units that were cancelled or where voting was not possible.

The Tribunal session opened with the case of Peter Obi against INEC, Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima, and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In addition to the EC40G forms, Obi also submitted five certified true copies of INEC reports from Niger State.

During a previous tribunal sitting, Obi submitted additional INEC documents as evidence and called on a subpoenaed witness who provided video evidence that was publicly viewed in court.

The petitioner, Obi, is set to continue presenting evidence and calling on more witnesses in subsequent sessions.
