The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has visited Jubrin Samuel Okutepa (SAN), who turned down the appointment to join President-elect Bola Tinubu’s legal team in defending his disputed win at the February 25 election.
Okutepa later joined Obi’s legal team.
Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are seeking to contest Tinubu’s victory.
Obi said he visited Okutepa because of his patriotism and uprightness.
Another Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Pius Akubo, also rejected the appointment to be part of Tinubu’s legal team.
Akubo said he was unaware of the appointment, and there had been no official communication between him and Tinubu’s camp.
