The Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate Peter Obi failed to continue their case on Wednesday before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
The court had on Wednesday fixed further hearings in their petition for 9 am on Wednesday for them to continue the presentation of their case by calling more witnesses and tendering documents, for which it allocated four hours to them.
At the mention of the case on Wednesday, a lawyer to the petitioners, Awa Kalu (SAN) told the court that they had planned to start with tendering of documents, but are constrained by some challenges at their secretariat.
Kalu said two key staff in the petitioners’ secretariat took ill, which has made it impossible for them to proceed with the business of the day.
He sought an adjustment till Thursday.
