The Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi told the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) on Thursday, that they were interested in challenging the last presidential election in only 18 states.
Their lawyer, Emeka Okpoko (SAN), announced this at the commencement of proceedings on Thursday. He said they intend to tender election materials from the 18 states.
He was however only able to tender result sheets from six out of the 18 states before asking for an adjournment.
The respondents – the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and the All Progressives Congress (APC) objected to the admissibility of the documents, promising to provide their reasons at the filing of their final written addresses.
Further hearing in the petition has been shifted till 9am on Friday.
