The party had already submitted IREV reports certified and downloaded by INEC in seven states, including Benue, Niger, Edo, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Gombe, and Kaduna. They also presented the BVAS report and certificate of compliance for 28 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which were all opposed by President Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and INEC.
However, INEC's counsel, Kemi Pinheiro, argued that Mr. Uzoukwu was making baseless claims to seek adjournment, as they had exhausted the documents they intended to present for the day. Pinheiro asserted that INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu had no reason to withhold the subpoenas and criticized the LP for accusing INEC of refusal to accept the subpoena. While INEC was not opposed to an adjournment, Pinheiro urged LP not to use INEC as a scapegoat.
In response, Uzoukwu revealed that INEC's lead counsel, AB Mahmoud, had assured him of his intervention and expressed surprise at Pinheiro's statements, stating that the court believed he could not serve the subpoena because they refused to accept it.
To restore order, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammni adjourned the proceedings for continuation on Thursday, June 15. The court would reconvene to address the ongoing dispute between Peter Obi, the Labour Party, and INEC.
