The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) on Wednesday, September 6, rejected a copy of the report on the last presidential election made by the European Union (EU) Election Observers Mission tendered by Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP).
According to the PEPC, 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.
Recall that Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) submitted the real copy of the EU’s report when they filed their petition with the court.
Also, the court 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.
