Election Petition: Obi is not a member of the LP - Tinubu, Shettima tender document to prove claim

President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima have produced documents to prove that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections wasn't a member of the party at the time he contested the elections.

Recall that Tinubu and Shettima had claimed that the former Anambra governor was not
qualified to contest in the last presidential election on the platform of the Labour Party because he is not a member of the opposition party.

Their lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) tendered the register along with LP’s letter, dated April 25, 2022 forwarding the membership register to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Though Obi and Labour Party's lawyer, Livy Uzoukwu (SAN) objected to the admission of the documents, the court admitted them and marked them as Exhibits RA17 and RA18.
