#LiveFromPEPT Image
Again... Peter Obi is in Court before me. But he's not alone, by his right is Alh. Audie Muhammad and Akin Osuntokun.

They look bright and prepared, I don't know if they have their popcorn by their sides.

#LiveFromPEPT Image
For some who are asking what popcorn is for, watch this video...

The same van that took away the documents have brought it back, nobody set anything on fire 😂😂😂 and PO is ready too.

#LiveFromPEPT twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#LiveFromPEPT
The Lead Justice, Hon. J. Haruna Tsammani have now considered all the arguments by the parties and rules that the application to serve Interrogatories on the 1st Respondent is hereby DENIED, for not moving their motion and filing out of time.

As the Court pleases!

#LiveFromPEPT Image
The Lead Justice also struck out the second motion.

Justice Adah:
He also ruled that the Motion be struck out.

Justice Bolaji:
He also aligned with the other Justices and struck it out.

Justice Ugo:
He aligned with his learned brothers and struck both motions out.

...
Justice Abba-Bello:
He also concurred and struck out the two motions.

As the court pleases...

It was a unanimous decision. Join the conversation on the 1 Million Man March Crew Space for explanations.

#LiveFromPEPT
Dr Livy Uzoukwu SAN have just informed the court that they will proceed to the witness from yesterday.

He have now defer proceedings to JS Okutekpa SAN who have requested Mr. Lucky to take the Witness Dock.

BUT... WE CANNOT FIND MR LUCKY RIGHT NOW

WAHALA!
#LiveFromPEPT
Mr. Lucky have just walked into the court...

Don't be afraid my people 😂😂😂

#LiveFromPEPT
Q: You made reference in your Witness Statement on Oath-WSO about your Identity Card showing you work with Channels, where is it and can I see it?
A. It's here with me (he now presents his ID card)

JS Okutekpa SAN just informs the court that he is an ordinary witness, not a Star
JS Okutekpa SAN now applies to tender the ID Card and that where it is admitted, a coloured photocopy be substituted so that he can go with it.

Now to objections...
🙄🙄🙄

#LiveFromPEPT
1st Respondent:
No objections

2nd and 3rd Respondents:
No objections

4th Respondent:
No objections

#LiveFromPEPT
The Court:
The copy of the ID Card of the Subpoena witness is hereby admitted into evidence and marked as Exhibit PBH5.

As the court pleases...

#LiveFromPEPT
Okutekpa SAN now applies that Exhibit PBH3 be played FOR ALL TO SEE. And that Ikwueto SAN handles the playing as head of technical unit 😂

Now, your popcorn on your lap, your drinks to your right, turn off the lights and let's take this ride together.

#LiveFromPEPT
Ladies and gentlemen, playing on our screens is the video of Prof. Mahmoud addressing the press.

Finally, our movie is here...

#LiveFromPEPT
This is the video where Yakubu Mahmoud assures Nigeria that there's no going back on the transmission of results REAL-TIME from the election venue and no going back on the use of BVAS for accreditation and upload.

It was heard loud and clear.

#LiveFromPEPT
Mahmoud is heard saying 'a total of 2,780,786 were identified as ineligible voters and removed from the register'.

He also says '3.8million or 40% of voters are students'.

#LiveFromPEPT


Here's the video... Watch it with your popcorn and drink

#LiveFromPEPT
JS Okutekpa SAN now applies that Exhibit PBH4 be played before the Court.

Part 2... Refill your cups and your popcorn buckets.

#LiveFromPEPT
In this second video, @seunokin is in an interview with Festus Okoye where he drills him on questions...

Look for the video my people.

#LiveFromPEPT
Festus Okoye is heard clearly saying when asked by @seunokin about upload...

'The commission made it very clear that there were some glitches...'

This interview was after the presidential election.

#LiveFromPEPT
3rd... We are watching the video where Shettima was announced as running mate.

This will be used to prove the claim of double nomination against Section 35 of the Electoral Act.

#LiveFromPEPT
Tinubu is heard in the Video saying the place holder, Aminu Masari, have dropped and he has picked Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the presidential election.

#LiveFromPEPT
JS Okutekpa SAN have requested that the video be stopped since the place he wants to make reference to have been played.

But Justice Bello requests that the entire video be allowed to play since the entire drive was tendered in evidence.

#LiveFromPEPT
The Lead Justice expresses displeasure that lawyers are in court and chewing gum. He notes that, apart from delivering judgment in the case, they would give a conduct report on the entire proceedings.

It's actually unethical.

#LiveFromPEPT
JS Okutekpa SAN notes that he's done with the witness and now surrenders him for cross-examination.

#LiveFromPEPT
1st Respondent Cross-examination:
He notes that the witness is a very lucky man and he has no question for him

A. Yes Sir

Q. The cameraman is still alive?
A. Very well

#LiveFromPEPT
Q. All the people featured in the recordings played, particularly the Chairman of INEC, Mahmoud, Festus Okoye, they are still alive?
A. Yes

My lord, that will be all for now.
😂😂😂
4th Respondent Cross-examination:
Q. Chairman of INEC is alive?
A. As at this moment, yes

Q. Festus Okoye is alive?
A. As at this moment, yes

My Lord, that will be all for now.

#LiveFromPEPT
JS Okutekpa SAN notes that they have no re-examination and apply that the witness be discharged. Lucky has now left the witness box and the court.

My popcorn don finish sha. But I'm happy to announce that there will be another video.

Dr. Livy informs the court that they are...
Ready to proceed with the tendering of documents.

The court informs him that they have about 50 more minutes for the day and they can proceed.

UPDATES AT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL TODAY FRIDAY, 9TH JUNE 2023 (DAY 9 OF HEARING)

Good afternoon & welcome to Live Updates from PEPT.

Are you set? What are your expectations?

#LiveFromPEPT Image
This is very unlikely... The Justices are not here, even though the proceedings was slated for 3pm today.

However, I'm worried that Peter Obi now comes to court earlier than me... I'm beginning to feel like I'm not serious about this my mandate.

#LiveFromPEPT
Well, 38 minutes away from 3pm, and the Justices are here...

COURT!

HERE WE GO!

Since @NaaYouSabi brought this tweet to my attention...

The position argued by @ipcjustice is not the correct position of the law.

As far as the 10th Assembly have not taken office (June 13th), the 9th Assembly remain the legitimate legislature to make laws in Nigeria.
What the law envisages in Section 58 CFRN is that, for a bill to become law, there must be concurrence of both the Senate and the House of Reps. That is, the bill must be passed concurrently by both houses of NASS.

Once the president signs this bill, it becomes law.
In simpler terms, 3 structures makes a bill become law.

- Senate must pass the bill
- House of Reps must pass the bill
- President must sign the bill

Where these three play this role, a bill will become a law, passed and assented to.

Counsels to various parties can be seen leaving the court, my guess is, a crucial discussion to agree upon before the hearing resumes.

Good afternoon & welcome to Live Updates from PEPT.

The Court is set to resume by 2pm since its adjournment from yesterday where the Petitioners tendered documents for 8 states.

#LiveFromPEPT Image
For the summary of yesterday and today's proceedings, in PDF and Voice-overs, keep tabs on my account and @_weyimi as we will be making them available before the end of the day.

It is presumed that the Petitioners in CA/PEPC/03/2023 will today, take a step away from INEC CTC...
of Forms EC8As and proceed to tendering documents of Forms EC8Bs, which are Ward Collated Results from the various states they will be contending in the petition.

While these are presumptions, join us in court or stay glued to know the turn out of events.

#LiveFromPEPT

While we wait to continue the Peter Obi's case (CA/PEPC/03/2023) at the PEPT later today at 2pm, I decided to update you on all the documents submitted so far at the tribunal.

On Day 1 of the Hearing, Peter Obi tendered documents from the US District Court...
Showing evidence of the forfeiture of $460,000 by the 2nd Respondent (Tinubu).

Moving to Day 3 (1st June), Peter Obi moved to the tendering of PUBLIC DOCUMENTS duly certified by INEC. This they also did on Day 4 (2nd June).

Now let's look at these documents... Image
On Day 3 alone, Certified True Copies of Forms EC8A from 115 LGAs of 6 states were tendered. The states include Rivers, Benue, Cross-River, Niger, Osun and Ekiti.

All the respondents (INEC, Tinubu, Shettima and APC) objected to the tendering of each of these documents. ImageImage
