The camp of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has disclosed that it would be absurd for him to respond to the petitions filed at the election tribunal by Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his counterpart in Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, when he has not been served a notice.

He said, “They deliberately frustrated the process. That man practically ran out of the country after evading being served the notice. But our party will serve him the notice through the APC. I am sure they must have received it by now.”

When asked the date that Tinubu’s legal team hopes to respond to Obi and Atiku’s petitions, Ogala, insisted that they have not been served any notice.On whether Tinubu deliberately left the country to evade being served the notice and if his absence would stall the process as speculated, Ogala debunked the claim.

“That is false. In fact, as of this morning, Tinubu has not been served a copy of the petition. They only obtained an order for substituted service on Friday. So they have to serve him. The earliest they can serve is Monday and he has 21 days from there. “So when you have not served somebody, you cannot expect him to respond. Until we are served the petition copy, that’s when our time will start counting,” he said.All rights reserved.

APC is evading the court case until after the swearing-in has occurred so that their principal can be immune from the incoming charges awaiting him.

APC have been served.

Now they are running away from being served notice. I thought they bragged and asked Labour Party to go to court.

Nwoke gbalu oso 😂man tier race

Baba Dey see case they run oh lol 😂

Why he come dey run naah...dey dodge to be served notice eh?

Apc lawyer is useless... Peter Obi’s lawyers went to submit the petition Tinubu used security agencies blocked his office. NgLabour submitted it in apc office.... Tinubu & His lawyer should stop playing dirty game.

E no go come back ? It's waiting for him at the airport

Ẹ máa sá ká, ẹ fẹ́ máa sáká, níbo lẹ ẹ́ lọ, t'Olorun ó tini mú ń yín. 😂😂😂

If the CJN can make it to London on Thursday for medical and returned on Friday. I hope the president-elect can do same to prove he won February 25th presidential election

If like let him go to heaven, that one is him problem, court have order LP and PDP to serve him true his party APC, if he did not appear before the court, that's another offense, so no case.

INEC should stop toying with the collective mandate of the Nigerian people! The fraudulent declarations which characterized the both presidential and other elections are the reason the INEC chairman should be charged for treasonable felony andprosecuted immediately!

Labour party holding APC and Inec to return their mandate.

Is this lawyer def? Court granted party leave to serve Tinubu through APC.
