In another desperate attempt by Labour Party to stop the collation of results and subsequent declaration of the winner of the just concluded general elections the party is weighing using the court option to restrain the commission from continuing with the collation of results currently ongoing.
The Peter Obi's legal team was caught pants down when a patriotic Nigerian in their midat exposed their plans and sent a screenshots of a conversation between the lawyers in a WhatsApp group named Peter Obi Lawyers.
According to the chat seen by Abuja Network News on the screenshots one of the Lawyers who simply identified as Chymaker was quoted thus " Learned Colleagues, I just got a call from an INEC insider who asked me to go tell my team (sic) to get a lawyer/judge to file an experte order to stop the announcing of this result (sic).. We have Just 1 hour to do this.
This is important those in Abuja how possible is this?. "
Another Barrister who identifies as Lawpremier Attorneys responded thus " This is not possible, I just finish talking to a SAN/ Judge now."
See the screenshot below.
It could be recalled that the Labour party teaming up with the PDP and other seven opposition parties staged a walk out at the collation center in Abuja due to failure to stop the collation of the results by the INEC chairman.
