Tribunal: More pressure on Tinubu as Obi sides Atiku's request for live telecast of proceedings
In another report, Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP) have filed an application requesting the live telecast of proceedings at the ongoing presidential election petition tribunal at the Federal Court of Appeal in Abuja.
Obi's request is in line with the request of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who had initially proposed the same request in a separate application.
Through his legal counsel Chris Uche, Obi appealed to the tribunal to grant permission to his request to allow Nigerians and electorates who participated in the 2023 general election to have access to the proceedings from the comfort of their homes and offices.
