Protesters in support of Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, were seen outside the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja on June 10, 2023.
According to an observer, the supporters were seen protesting instead of encouraging their lawyers to prove how Tinubu won the election in court.
It was also observed that the protesters were not there on Friday but suddenly appeared on Saturday ahead of the video footage about to be played in the court today.
It could be recalled that the legal team of the Labour Party (LP) and its candidate, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, had set up a presentation monitor to play a recording of Mahmood Yakubu’s speech on transmission of election results for the judges.
Meanwhile, reacting to the proceedings at the Tribunal on Saturday, a former governorship candidate in Anambra State, Mr. Oseloka Henry Obaze, hailed the performance of Jibrin Samuel Okutepa, SAN, over the double nomination sags of Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Taking to his Twitter handle, @OselokaHObaze, Mr. Obaze tweeted:
“Today, @jibrinSAN killed it at the PEPT; leading to the Court dubbing him a “General” – the way he suppreputiously unflured the issue and evidence was blindsiding! As the people yonder will say, it was with “shock and awe”.” Read more.
