The legal team of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has commenced the inspection of election materials used for the February 25 presidential election.

The move is an aftermath of a direction by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that lawyers of the LP as well as their People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) counterparts had a meeting with the Independent National Electoral Commission’s lawyers in Abuja om Tuesday.

It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had granted the requests of PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; LP’s Obi’s and that of the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC to inspect the election materials used during the presidential poll.

A report submitted yesterday to INEC by the three parties’ lawyers indicated that the LP’s team began the inspection on Monday.

Speaking on behalf of INEC’s lawyers, Tanimu Inuwa, SAN, said the commission had forms Ec8d (summary of results) of each state and FCT, Ec8da (national summary) and Ec8a.

He said the BVAS and backend report of over 11,000 pages was being finalized and that the result sheets and ballot papers were in the various states, not at the INEC headquarters.

He suggested that a timeline for visitation for all parties be made for ease and the persons appointed to inspect be limited.

He said the CTCs and photocopies of the document would be made available.

Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN, representing the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said his team would also commence the inspection of election materials today.

He said representatives of PDP in various states had gone to the INEC offices for inspection but were denied access because the headquarters had not given the go-ahead.

He said the PDP, in addition to the documents requested, would need the report of the offline and online logs and server from February 25 to March 1 and the phone numbers used on each BVAS.

On his part, Babatunde Ogala, SAN, representing the APC, said all parties should henceforth inspect the documents together in the spirit of transparency and a joint committee of all parties should be made to come up with a schedule for the inspection.

But LP’s Livy Uzochukwu, SAN said the LP and the PDP petitioned, while APC was responding, hence the timelines were different and the petitioners should be treated with priority.

Gadzama said the LP and the PDP had a lot in common and had more challenges than the APC.

He also said that limiting the number of people allowed to inspect was not realistic because of the burden placed on the petitioners.

He demanded that a message be sent to the INEC in various states to allow inspection.

The meeting agreed that the PDP and the APC could commence inspection immediately; while the LP, having started the inspection, would continue from where it left off.
