In a recent development, the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal has rejected the European Union Election Observers Mission report on the February 25 presidential election. The report was tendered as evidence by Peter Obi and the Labour Party.
The tribunal’s decision to reject the report was based on the grounds that it was not presented by an official of the European Union Election Observers Mission, who is the author and custodian of the document. This decision underscores the importance of proper authentication and presentation of evidence in legal proceedings.
Additionally, the tribunal also rejected 18,088 blurred results sheets that were tendered by the petitioners. The rejection was based on the fact that these sheets were not linked to any specific polling units, and the petitioners failed to specify the polling units to which the results referred.

It’s important to note that a copy of the EU Election Observers Mission report had been previously tendered by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party during their petition before the tribunal.
This decision by the tribunal highlights the rigorous standards and procedures that must be followed in presenting evidence in legal cases, especially those related to election petitions. Proper authentication and relevance are crucial factors in determining the admissibility of evidence in court.
