Labour Party Presidential Aspirant Peter Obi Arrives In Appeal Court Early

The presidential aspirant of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has arrived at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, ahead of ruling on a request by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reconfigure the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) machines.

Mr Obi had acquired the appellate court’s clearance to check sensitive electoral materials including the BVAS machines that were deployed in the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections on 25 February.

But INEC approached the court seeking to reconfigure and deploy the equipment for the conduct of the Saturday, 11 March governorship and state administrative elections.

The appellate court will rule on the electoral judge’s application today, Wednesday.
