The All Progressives Congress has hit back at the planned move of the Labour Party to hire 20 senior advocates of Nigeria to challenge the victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in court.
It was reported that the Labour Party were lining up at least 20 SANS from different chambers to challenge the victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25 elections.
Responding to the move, chief spokesman of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, said that the president-elect and his camp were unfazed by the legal threat of the opposition.
According to Keyamo, winning a court case is not about the number of SANs being paraded but by the sophistication of evidence.
He also revealed that while LP might be lining up 20 SANs, the APC are also not slouching in their preparation as they are putting together 12 SANs for the case.
Keyamo said, “The number of our advocates is around that figure (12). But I can’t confirm the exact figures at the moment. However, it doesn’t matter the number of SANs the Labour Party is parading. It is not a competition.
“I am a lawyer and can tell you specifically that the numbers don’t matter. It is all about the quality of evidence. But I can tell you that we have enough to nullify more of their votes than theirs to nullify our own.”
