Supporters of Peter Obi, who are popularly called Obidients are in high spirits after the All Progressives Congress (APC) closed its defense against their principal who represented the Labour Party in the general elections.
Lawyers to President Tinubu and the APC who called Senator Opeyemi Bamidele as their star witness informed the court that they have established their case through the witness and do not need to call another witness in the matter.
The witness who is a practicing Attorney in the United States of America and currently the Majority Leader of the Senate, in his evidence, told the court that there is no record of criminal proceedings or conviction of Senator Bola Tinubu in the United States of America.
While this is seen as a victory for supporters of both parties, one name that has been singled out for praise on social media is that of astute lawyer Dr. Livy Uzoukwu SAN who is said to have cross-examined the only witness of the ruling party.
Per tweets cited on Twitter, Dr. Uzoukwu played a key role in the 'victory' earned by the Labour Party and Peter Obi in the court.
One tweet reads: "This is in recognition of an astute and intelligent Learned Silk, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu SAN. His outstanding cross-examination skills and reasonable witness ambushing in the Peter Obi Petition today was top notch... Wonderful!"
Another tweep wrote: "Peter Obi's lawyer, Livy Uzoukwu SAN has successfully Put the Nigerian Judiciary on Trial with his cross-examination of Tinubu's Witness. As I said, it will take a corrupt Judge for Tinubu not to be disqualified."
