'Tribunal, APC must come clean' - LP raises alarm over watermark of Tinubu's legal team on CTC

The Labour Party has reacted to allegations that the watermark or imprint of the party was on the certified copies of the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).

Amid the controversy, the Labour Party has asked the PEPC to come clean.

This call was contained in a statement issued by the party on Sunday, September 10 and signed by Obiorah Ifoh, the national publicity secretary.

As contained in the statement, the Labour Party said Nigerians want to know what truly transpired and why the watermark Tinubu's legal team appeared in the CTC of the tribunal's judgment.

The statement reads: “The Labour Party was very disturbed by the delay in releasing the judgment expeditiously, only to be confronted with this befuddlement. The public is equally at pains trying to comprehend what is happening."

The Labour Party described the situation as "a highly contentious case with dire national interest and implications."

The PEPC has been urged to shed more light on the matter to give further clarification to "avoid conjectures and the belief that something untoward happened."

The Labour Party says it will not accept it as another case of glitch.

They said: “We of the Labour Party place it on record that the counsel who collected the judgment on behalf of our party and our candidate did so long after a representative of Tinubu Legal Team."

The Labour Party, however, appealed to the PEPC and APC to open up and explain why the imprint of the CTC carries the watermark of President Tinubu's legal. "Nigerians deserve the right to know and are demanding urgent answers," Labour Party queried.
