Embattled former National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi has said the legal team of the party and its Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi may bungle the case with their many excuses.
He pointed out that the representation by their legal team, whom he alleged were hired with about N3bn to represent the party and its presidential candidate, have not been tactful in their representation.
According to Arabambi, the continued drawback occasioned by the failures of the legal team representing the Labour Party and its candidate would cost the party the case.
His words: “All of you here who have been following this case can recall that the day we had altercation in court with Abure’s group, INEC announced that Peter Obi could not pay for CTC form EC08 and other documents to be for the election.
“That now compelled them to only present only thirty per cent of the materials they would need for the hearing at Election Petition Tribunal.
“How would any right thinking person go to an election tribunal with only thirty percent of your documents where not all of them would be accepted or agreed to be tendered by other political parties?
“Three days ago, they said two of their counsels were sick and yesterday they could not even file a single process with the array of SAN with Obi.
“This is what we have been saying that they are just trying to hoodwink the public, deceiving the OBIdients and giving them false hope that they have something at the tribunal.
