Obi tells tribunal how INEC denied him access to materials in Rivers, Sokoto, others
Presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has told the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refused to produce 70 per cent of the electoral documents he requested to facilitate the prosecution of his petition.
Obi, who came third in the February 25 presidential election is challenging the conduct and outcome of the poll.
At yesterday’s pre-hearing session, Obi insisted that the election was manipulated in favour of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
His lead counsel, Dr. Livy Uzougwu, specifically told the Justice Haruna Tsammani five-member tribunal that he could not access documents used for the election in Rivers and Sokoto states
