The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has issued a warning to Labour Party, LP, and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi to stop blaming the commission for their inability to effectively prosecute their case at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT.
INEC’s lawyer, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN), issued the warning following a claim by the lawyer to LP and Obi, Livy Uzoukwu (SAN) that the office of the Chairman of INEC, declined to accept a subpoena served on Mahmood Yakubu to produce some documents.
But, the INEC lawyer, Pinheiro noted that it had become a pattern with the petitioners to always look for someone to blame whenever they were stuck and unable to progress with the handling of their case.
