On Wednesday, the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal rejected the European Union Election Observers Mission report on the presidential election held on February 25th, as proposed by Peter Obi and the Labour Party.
The court stated that it rejected the report because it was not submitted by an officer of the body that is the author and has possession of the document.
The court also rejected the 18,088 blurred results sheets tendered by the petitioners on the grounds that they are not tied to any of the polling units to which the results referred to, and which the petitioners failed to specify in their petition.
The actual copy of the report was earlier tendered by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party while prosecuting their petition before the tribunal.
