…By Dorcas Funmi for TDPel Media. Political analyst, Reno Omokri, expressed strong disapproval of the conduct of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, his legal team, and witnesses during the proceedings at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
Omokri deemed their performance as nothing short of an embarrassment, highlighting concerns regarding the lack of compelling witnesses to support Obi’s case.
Condemnation of Peter Obi’s Failure to Present Strong Witnesses
Omokri criticized Peter Obi for his failure to provide witnesses who could effectively plead his case in court.
The former presidential aide raised doubts about the potential outcome of the court proceedings, suggesting that the LP flag bearer’s chances may be jeopardized due to the inadequacy of his legal team and witnesses.
Questionable Testimony and Errors Diminish Confidence
Taking to Instagram to voice his opinion, Omokri highlighted specific examples that underscored the shortcomings of Obi’s legal team and witnesses.
He expressed disbelief at the quality of witnesses produced, noting instances such as a mathematics professor attributing his inability to prove Obi’s victory in the Nigerian elections to a lack of time.
Additionally, he pointed out the confusion exhibited by Lawrence Nwakaeti, one of the witnesses, during court proceedings.
Concerns Over Legal Team’s Errors and Request for More Time
Omokri further criticized the lawyers representing Peter Obi for making schoolboy errors, including mishandling their schedule of documents and subsequently requesting additional time.
These mistakes, according to Omokri, do not bode well for Obi’s case and raise doubts about the effectiveness of his legal team’s strategy.
