The Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi have accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of frustrating the hearing of its petition before the presidential election court.
Obi and the LP are challenging the outcome of the election held on February 25, which produced Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as Nigeria’s President.
At the resumed hearing of the petition on Monday, counsel to the petitioners, Jibrin Okutepa, claimed that INEC has refused to release some documents needed for the prosecution of their case.
The presiding judge, Justice Haruna Tsammani, after listening to both parties, adjourned further hearings to June 20, 2023.
