 The Labour Party and its presidential candidate Pitalbi have thrown their support behind the request by the People's Democratic Party PDP and its presidential candidate Atiku Abubaka for live broadcast of the proceedings of the presidential election petition court sitting in Abuja, the nation's capital. Council to the Labour Party's presidential candidate, Dr Levi Uzoku, S.A.N. Mathis, known today Wednesday while speaking to newsmen after the court to join a pre-hearing session in the petition challenging the election of the presidential candidate of the all-progressive Congress APC, Ahmad Tunubu. We are asking that the Honourable God should allow live streaming of broadcasting of the proceedings of the court from day to day whenever the court is seated because it was something introduced by the colonial masters but they have moved on and we are still in the ancient age so we feel that we should depart from that and adopt modernity because some African countries are now live streaming their proceedings. I don't see one like there shouldn't so that's why we fight this application so that it will be just a matter of you hanging out here you can come in if the court allows it if the court grants it and in some of you as much as the court can accommodate we're coming with your cameras and be feeling the life the proceedings in great time you know after all the court is a public place members of the public have a right to be in court subject to space but since the space is small can't accommodate perhaps more than 200 or so or less than 200 apart from the what is there at the at the four-year lobby it's just not enough in our view and that is part of part of democracy that is part of constitutionality
