The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has rejected the report of the European Union (EU) Election Observers Mission on the presidential election held on February 25, 2023, tendered by Mr. Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP).
The Tribunal, consequently, expunged the European Union (EU) report from its records on the premise that the document was obtained by the petitioners from its registry, which was certified by its staff who is not a person with original custody of the document that was produced by the EU mission.
The court also rejected the 18088 blurred results sheets tendered by the petitioners on the grounds that they were not tied to any polling units to which the results related, which the petitioners failed to specify in their petition.
Justice Tsammani even blamed Labour Party agents for the blurred Certified true Copies (CTCs) from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The judge said that Labour Party agents were aware of the blurred results and yet delivered them to the court and that the petitioners lied that they could not identify the polling units because the result sheets were blurred.
