Obi Backs Atiku On Request For Live Broadcast Of May 17 Proceedings 

Obi has backed Atiku on request for live broadcast of May 17 proceedings as court adjourns petition.

Glamtush reports that the Labour Party (LP) and its Presidential candidate, Peter Obi have thrown their support to the request by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar for live broadcast of the proceedings of the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting in Abuja.

This online platform understands that the Counsel to the Labour Party and its Presidential candidate, Dr Livy Uzuokwu (SAN) made this known on Wednesday while speaking with newsmen after the court had adjourned the pre-hearing session in their petition challenging the election of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, to May 17.

Uzoukwu said it has become imperative to have the proceedings covered so that Nigerians will have first-hand information on what goes on at the Court and will clear doubt in the minds of Nigerians.

He said live broadcast of court proceedings was initiated by colonial masters but jettisoned when Nigeria got its independence.

He said, with the realities on ground, live broadcast of court proceedings has become imperative and that Obi and the Labour Party are in support of the request by Atiku and his party.

For instance, he said the courtroom cannot conveniently accommodate 200 people and the 200 people cannot adequately represent Nigerians, adding that if the proceedings are broadcast live, Nigerian will be better informed.

During the hearing of the motion on notice by Atiku and the PDP, Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Mr. Obi will be fully in support.
