INEC SAYS OBI, LP ARE REQUESTING FOR NON-EXISTENT DOCUMENTS TO AID THEIR PETITION

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said on Tuesday that some documents requested by the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, for presentation as exhibits at the presidential election petition tribunal, did not exist.

The commission stated this at the resumed hearing of the LP petition in Abuja.

Obi and his party are challenging the outcome of the February 25.

The Deputy Director in charge of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Lawrence Bayode, who appeared for the commission, told the panel that out of the five documents requested by Obi, two were non-existent, while one was a work in progress.

The Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi on Monday alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refused to provide the documents they asked for.

His legal team told the Court that due to INEC ‘s refusal to provide them the documents they asked for, they can’t go on with their case.

Mr Jubrin Okutepa, counsel for the LP, told the court that all the documents his client asked for from INEC were not provided
