Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, during proceedings on Wednesday, tendered a copy of the Labour Party, LP, membership register for Anambra State in proof of their argument that Peter Obi is not a registered member of the party.
It was gathered that Tinubu and Shettima had argued, in their response to the petition filed by Obi and the LP, that not being a party member at the time of the 2023 presidential election, thereby disqualified Obi from contesting the last election on the platform of the LP.
According to Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), said the document was tendered along with LP’s letter forwarding the membership register to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Although the lawyer to the petitioners, Livy Uzoukwu objected to the admissibility of the documents, the court, however, admitted them and marked them as Exhibits RA17 and RA18.
