Part of the documents tendered today by President Tinubu through his Counsel seeks to prove that Peter Obi has a case of double nomination.
Mr Obi purportedly resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party on 26th May 2022 to join LP on 27th May 2022.
The Labour Party conducted its Presidential Primary election on 30th May, 2022 which produced Mr Obi as the candidate it intended to sponsor in the general election.
It says by virtue of section 77(3) of the Electoral Act, Labour is mandated to have submitted its comprehensive register of members to INEC, 30 days before its presidential primary, implying that the register of members must have been submitted to INEC on or before 30th April, 2022.
Mr Obi as at 30th April, 2022 was still a member of the
PDP and his name was not in the register of members submitted by Labour Party to INEC.
According to his Counsel, Peter Obi was still a member of PDP when he contested the presidential Election under the Labour Party.
