Daniel Bwala, a media aide to the 2023 Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has mocked the Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC, for failing to open its defence.
INEC had failed to open its defence at the Presidential
Election Petition Tribunal after 10 days breaks.
This was due to the absence of witnesses for the electoral
body at the tribunal.
Reacting, Bwala tweeted: “INEC failed to open its defence
after 10 days break; reason? Because witnesses failed to show up. #Vuvuzela
#hakunamatata”
Meanwhile, Levi Uzoukwu, a counsel to the Labour Party, LP,
presidential candidate, Levi UzoukwuPeter Obi said INEC was not ready to defend
its case before the tribunal.
Uzoukwu spoke after the tribunal adjourned sitting on Monday
following the absence of INEC’s witness at the resumed sitting.
The lawyer, however, noted that LP was ready to move on with
its case, unlike INEC which has continued to show inconsistencies.
“Given the contradictions and inconsistencies and what INEC
has done; I’m sure they are not ready to defend this case,” he said.
