Tinubu’s Lawyers catch Cold As Tribunal accept BVAS Report, Others Exhibit Against Pres Tinubu..
The Presidential Election Petition Court sitting in Abuja has admitted the 2023 presidential election results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission’s chairman, Yakubu Mahmoud, as an exhibit in the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, against the electoral victory of President Bola Tinubu.
The results were admitted following an oral application by the PDP lawyer, Eyitayo Jegede, SAN.
Jegede also applied to tender as evidence, INEC Forms EC8A (which is the summary of presidential election results), Form EC8E series for the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, INEC Certified documents in respect of number of PVCs collected for 2023 presidential election and the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System BVAS machine printed report for the 36 states including FCT.
The court then asked the lawyers representing INEC, Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress if they have any objection to the documents that the PDP sought to tender.
Responding, INEC’s counsel, A.B. Mahmoud SAN, did not object to the certified copy of the final results declared by the INEC chairman.
But he said he would object to the other documents because they were bulky and needed to be appropriately numbered.
On his part, Tinubu’s legal team led by Wole Olanipekun SAN did not consent to the admission of the BVAS reports.
He contended that the BVAS reports are more like an evidence that needs to be vetted by them before it can be admitted.
The legal team for the APC also aligned with the submission of Tinubu’s lawyer, Olanipekun.
Nevertheless, the five-man panel of the court led by Justice Haruna Tsammani admitted all the documents tendered by the PDP while taking note of the respondents’ refusal to give consent to its admission.
The court subsequently adjourned to Wednesday for continuation of hearing.
Recall that in its pre-hearing report, the PEPC had ordered that all INEC certified documents be admitted and not objected to at the point of admission, as agreed by parties.
According to the court, this was to fast-track the case.

JUST IN: FG Owes NNPCL N2.8trn For Fuel Subsidy – Kyari
Opadele Abdulkabeer
May 30, 2023
The federal government has a N2.8 trillion fuel subsidy payment imbalance owed to Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
After meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, NNPCL’s Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), Mele Kyari, said this while speaking to journalists at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The Nigerian Mainstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) Authority Chief Executive Officer, Farouk Ahmed, joined Kyari at the briefing. Farouk Ahmed said the disclosure by the president in his inauguration speech about the end to the subsidy regime was most welcome as it is no longer sustainable.
He said the heavy subsidy burden had made it impossible for the NNPCL to have funds to channel into its core businesses.
Kyari said the petrol queues that started resurfacing across the country since Monday were understandable as marketers would like to understand the meaning of the president’s pronouncement that “subsidy is gone.”
The NNPCL GCEO said the uncertainty on the remark also caused consumers to rush for the product, a situation which has resulted in the queues seen at fuel stations.
He said government would initiate measures to cushion the effects of the removal of subsidy.
He stated “since the provision of the N6 trillion in 2022, and N3.7 trillion in 2023, we have not have not received any payment whatsoever from the Federation.
“That means they (Federal Government) are unable to pay and we’ve continued to support this subsidy from the cash flow of the NNPC. That is, when we net off our fiscal obligations of taxes and royalty, there’s still a balance that we’re funding from our cash flow and that has become very difficult and affecting our other operations.
“We’re not able to keep some of these cash for invest on our core businesses and the end result is that it can be a huge challenge for the company and we have highlighted this severally to government that they must compensate and NNPC they must pay back the NNPC for the money that we have spent on the subsidy.
“So, today the country doesn’t have the money to pay for subsidy. There’s incremental value that will come from it. But it is not an issue of whether you can do it or not because today we can’t afford it and they are not able to pay our bill. That comes to how much is the federation owing NNPC now.
“Today, we are waiting for them to settle up to N2.8 trillion of NNPC’s cashflow from the subsidy regime and we can’t continue to build this,” he explained
Shocking... Leak Document from U.S. Court, Other Documents Tendered By Peter Obi Against Tinubu
The judgment allegedly indicted Tinubu and ordered his forfeiture of $460,000 in a drug-related offence.
The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has admitted in evidence documents tendered by the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, to defend his petition against President Bola Tinubu.
Obi had filed a petition at the tribunal to challenge Tinubu’s victory in the election as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission. Tinubu was sworn in as President on Monday, May 29.
The documents which were tendered on Tuesday in Abuja through the petitioner’s first witness, Mr Lawrence Nwakaeti, included a United States District Court judgment.
The judgment allegedly indicted Tinubu and ordered his forfeiture of $460,000 in a drug-related offence.
Nwakaeti, who was led in evidence by Mr Jibrin Okutepa (SAN), told the court that he was a registered voter who voted at a polling unit in his hometown in Anambra on February 25, 2023, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The counsel for the respondents raised objections to the admission of the document in evidence but reserved their arguments to their objections until the final address stage.
Under cross-examination by the counsel for Tinubu, Mr Wole Olanipekun (SAN), the witness admitted that the judgment was not registered in Nigeria.
Nwakaeti also admitted that there was no certificate from any Consular in Nigeria or the U.S. in support of the judgment but that the judgement was obtained and certified by the person in whose custody it was.
The witness told the court that he had been to the U.S. and also read the judgment in its entirety, adding that he would be surprised if no mention was made of the forfeiture of $460,000 by Tinubu
While also cross-examining the witness, the counsel for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), sought to know if the document had the certification of any police officer in the U.S.
BREAKING:President Bola Tinubu has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Ikoyi, Lagos, immediately.
President Bola Tinubu arrives at the Presidential Villa on his first day of work.
He arrived from the defense house & is welcomed by the VP Kashim Shettima, Femi Gbajabiamila, Godwin Emefiele; GMD NNPC, Mele Kyari; James Faleke and others.

No Need For Panic ... NNPC Backs Tinubu On Fuel Subsidy Removal, Says is a Renew Hope
The company tells Nigerians that the move to remove subsidy is in its best interest.
The President, in his inaugural address on Monday, had declared an end to the era of subsidy payment, saying the 2023 budget made no provision for fuel subsidy, so further payment was no longer justifiable.
Responding in an emergency press conference at the NNPC Towers, Abuja, NNPCL told Nigerians that the move was in the best interest of the company.
BAD for APC... Atiku has come out to say... The judgment of the Supreme Court on Friday is not a “setback to his quest for justice”.
The court, therefore, dismissed the case for lack of merit, noting that a political party cannot challenge the internal action of another party.
But a five-member panel of the apex court on Friday held that the PDP is not a member of the APC and therefore lacked the locus standi to institute the suit.
Justice Adamu Jauro who read the judgement described the PDP’s action as meddlesome in the internal affair of the APC, which it is not part of.
The apex court also awarded a sum of two million naira (N2 million) against the PDP.
The Court of Appeal, Abuja, dismissed an appeal by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, seeking the disqualifications of deputy, Kashim Shettima, in the February 25 el
The Court of Appeal has upheld the position of Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party. The Abuja Court of Appeal has reversed ...
