He wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday, June 17:

"THE LP/OBI DRAMA:
"Out of a total of 176,000 polling units, you provided only 46,000 polling agents. (This means you were not present, and have no evidence in 130,000 Polling Units nationwide, and you imagine that 46,000 is greater than and will upturn 130,000).
"You listed a 50 man witnesses. You presented only 5 (with one week to go).
"The 5 presented are:
"1. An International Data Analyst
2. A Channels TV Staff
3. A Professor in Mathematics
4. An Arise Tv Staff

"There is not a single person (amongst your witnesses who is directly) connected to the election you are contesting its result.
"All are busy body third party hearsay witnesses (none is an eye witness with primary source or evidence).
"When I told you to ignore this case and the clowns gathered as lawyers, you think it's a joke.
"What do you think these witnesses will amount to?
"People testifying as witnesses to an election (in which they were not present but) they participated in only on TV set are all you have and rely on.
"Ok naaa. Let's watch and see."
