President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday, closed the defence of their February 25 election victory with the evidence of the Senate Majority Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, to deflate allegations and claims contained in the petitions file by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as well as Mr. Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP).

Before his testimony that drew the curtain on their defence to a close,  their legal team tendered some bundles of documents, including the February 4, 2003 letter from the US Embassy in Nigeria, clearing Tinubu of any criminal indictment or conviction in the United States.

The witness, however, noted that the US court relied on the American law dealing on money laundering in Tinubu’s forfeiture but stressed that it was a civil matter. APC lawyer, Lateef Fagbemi told the PEPC that it was his belief that there was no need to call witness after Olanipekun and that APC had established its case and “we are not calling any witness.”
