INEC: We will be objecting to the admissibility of these documents. Arguments in this respect were taken on the 30th of May. Issues were not joined in these LGAs and we’ll be advancing our grounds in Final Address. They are strange to the petition.
Court: You said you’ll mention in the Final Adress? When the court rules you don’t argue.
INEC: Sorry my Lords, it’s because news were being made in the media
Court: (cutting him short) Yes who is next?
