PDP subpoena witness tenders Mbah’s NYSC redeployment, reinstatement letters

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) subpoena witness, Mr Victor Ude, on Thursday tendered Gov Peter Mbah’s NYSC letters of redeployment, deferment and reinstatement to continue his NYSC programme after completing his part two in Law school.

Ude tendered the documents before the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal hearing the petition filed by Mr Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party (LP) against the election of Gov. Mbah of the PDP in Enugu.

Edeoga is praying the tribunal to disqualify Mbah over alleged forgery of his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate and manipulation of election results.

Ude also tendered Mbah’s final clearance letter after completing his NYSC programme, among others.

The LP lead counsel, Mr Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, objected to the admissibility of the document, saying he would give his reasons in their final address.

The Tribunal however, admitted the document as evidence.

During cross examination, the witness said that there was a letter from the NYSC that reinstated Mbah after his deferment.

The witness said that he wrote the letters to the NYSC and got reply as well.

Ude said he was not aware of the Inspector General of Police (I-G) reply on the investigation of the NYSC on March 2023.
