His full post on his verified Twitter handle reads:
"The erudite senior lawyer, Chris Uche (SAN), leading Atiku's legal team, is yet another reason why ethnicity must never blind us to competence: He used the sole INEC witness that eventually showed up at the PEPC to tender yet another bombshell document today, this time: the final report of the European Union Election Observer Mission, which faulted both the conduct and outcome of the 2023 presidential election that produced Bola Tinubu.
"INEC's Director of Information Technology (IT), Dr. Lawrence Bayode was brought in to testify for INEC, and after admitting that only 31% of the election results had been uploaded before Mahmud Yakubu announced Bola Tinubu. Chris Uche was then invited to cross-examine the INEC witness, but he asked that APC and Tinubu should go first as they were co-respondents in the matter. APC and Tinubu lawyers objected and the five-member panel had to go into their Chambers before coming out to rule that APC and Tinubu should cross-examine the INEC witness before Atiku."
Olarewaju noted that the INEC witness had told the court that there was a technical glitch that affected the uploading of the presidential election results, but admitted while being cross-examined by Uche that the imaginary glitch was not reported to Amazon Web Services (AWS) by INEC.
"With their only witness' testimony destroyed in minutes and four documents tendered, INEC closed its defense in the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and the PDP against the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election," he added.
The PDP chieftain stated that Tinubu has been ordered to open the defense of his victory in the presidential election Tuesday, July 4, 2023 by the PEPC.
He concluded:
"If the PEPC does what is right with the evidence as of today, Bola Tinubu will be the first President to be removed in Nigeria, Mahmud Yakubu will be the first INEC Chairman to go to jail for rigging and the worst outcome from all of it is a rerun of that spurious and fraudulent election INEC conducted."
