Anuga SAN now defers back to Dr. Livy l SAN who now addresses the court.

He drew the attention of the Lead Counsel of INEC, Mahmoud SAN that the Chairman of INEC consistently avoided to be served subpoena for the production of documents.

(Nawa o, I thought we've passed this!)
Dr. Livy continues addressing the court, that the lead counsel to INEC asked for a copy of the subpoena. Though he does not have an extra copy in court, but he will provide a copy and have it sent to him after the proceedings today.

#LiveFromPEPT
He'll provide this copy of subpoena in confidence that AB Mahmoud SAN will do the needful for them to continue with the proceedings tomorrow.

(This is Dr. Livy asking for an adjournment since INEC have dodged being served the subpoena to produce documents)

#LiveFromPEPT
Pinhero SAN (INEC) notifies the court, in response, that he is not privy to the conversations between Dr. Livy SAN and Mahmoud SAN.

And he does not believe that INEC is avoiding being served the subpoena to release documents. That these claims are calculated by the Petitioners..
to mislead the court.

He notes that they do not oppose to the application for adjournment and reiterates that INEC is not avoiding any subpoenas as they have responded to those of the PDP and have no reason to avoid that of the LP.

#LiveFromPEPT
Wole Olanipekun SAN for the 2nd and 3rd Respondents notes that they do not have any objections to the application for adjournment.

The 4th Respondent equally take the same approach with no objections.

#LiveFromPEPT
Dr. Livy notes that he is very shocked at the statements of Pinhero SAN. He notes also that the Bailiff of the court have noted that INEC have avoided service and his claims can be verified.

He expresses displeasure at the denial of Pinhero SAN who is not the LEAD COUNSEL.
He vehemently also expresses displeasure of the tone and language used by Pinhero SAN, who consistently denigrates the Petitioners Counsels.

The court noted that they have signed the subpoena and modalities should be facilitated by counsels for it to be served.

#LiveFromPEPT
The court further advises counsels not to denigrate each other and that they've gotten to this point of the hearing without any rancour, problems should not ensue at this stage.

The Court has now adjourned the hearing till tomorrow Thursday June 15, 2023 @ 9am.

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.

#LiveFromPEPT Image
There's someone new in court... A right activist, political activist, lawyer and Spokesperson Southwest of the Peter Obi Campaign Team, Dele Farotimi @DeleFarotimi is in Court today...

He's on my check list of pictures today. I came late & couldn't give you all the live photos. Image
