ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has rejected two applications filed by Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP).

In one of the motion filed on 22 May, Obi and the LP sought the court’s leave to issue and deliver interrogatories on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

By the interrogatories, they had intended to obtain more information from INEC.

In the second, filed on 2 June, the petitioners sought the court’s permission to have the first application heard outside the pre-hearing session.

In a ruling on Saturday, the court’s five-member panel was unanimous that the two applications were without, having been filed outside the time allowed by law. This however, denied the court the jurisdiction to hear them.

The Presiding Justice (PJ), Justice Haruna Tsammani noted that the petitioners’ lawyers were not diligent in their conduct which informed why they did not file the applications within the time allowed.

The judge held that both Obi and the party did not establish any circumstance of extreme urgency that would have made the court to exercise discretion in their favour.
