Rnowned lawyer and Labour Party chieftain, Barrister Kenneth Okonkwo took to social media to accuse INEC’s Commissioner for Voter Education, Festus Okoye of lying during an interview on national television.

In a series of tweets posted on his Twitter handle on Thursday night, Okonkwo, who is a member of the legal team representing the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi, at the ongoing Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, argued that Okoye lied when he said that INEC had provided all election documents requested by the petitioners challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential polls.
