Popular social commentator Reno Omokri alleged that Peter Obi of the Labour Party’s legal team in the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal is embarrassing.
This was revealed on Saturday by Omokri, the former president Goodluck Jonathan’s media advisor.
Omokri, a fervent supporter of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed his disappointment with the witnesses and evidence Obi’s legal team presented to the Tribunal.
He claimed that Obi’s attorneys were mishandling their schedule of documents and then requesting more time, which he described as “schoolboy errors.”
He said the approach Obi’s team is taking with the petition won’t work.
“Peter Obi’s legal team and their witnesses at the Presidential Election Petition Court are just embarrassing.
“It was a man bragging that he had all his witnesses and evidence. And have a look at the witnesses they are creating. A professor of mathematics cited a shortage of time as the reason why he was unable to demonstrate Peter Obi’s victory in the #NigerianElections2023.
“Another, Lawrence Nwakaeti, became lost in court. lawyers who plead for additional time after making elementary mistakes in their document schedule. For Peter Obi, things don’t seem good. Not looking good at all,” he wrote.
In order to show the Tribunal that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not win the 25th February election, Peter Obi added more witnesses on Friday.
