President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress ended their defense in the petition filed by Mr Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP) on Wednesday.
President Tinubu’s and the APC’s lawyers, who called Senator Opeyemi Bamidele as their star witness, advised the court that they had established their case through the witness and did not need to call any person in the matter.
In his testimony, the witness, who is a practicing attorney in the United States of America and the current Majority Leader of the Senate, told the court that Senator Bola Tinubu had no record of criminal proceedings or conviction in the United States of America.
Senator Bamidele also told the court in his witness deposition that there is a ten thousand, nine hundred and twenty-nine vote gap in the ballots cast for Senator Bola Tinubu in Kano state.
Earlier, the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) acknowledged President Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University records as evidence in a petition filed against his electoral victory by the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The defense presented educational documents to establish Tinubu’s attendance and graduation at the American University, including the admission letter offered to the president by the institution, as well as a United States of America visa valid from 2011 to 2021, at the petition’s resumed hearing.
Lawyers for President Tinubu also provided the membership registration of the Labour Party in Anambra State to buttress their position that Peter Obi was not qualified to run for president in 2023 on the LP platform.
