He said: “What we got was application for substituted service since efforts to service Governor Emmanuel failed. So, the court has granted us leave to serve the governor at the PDP office in Uyo. And then the other application is to inspect election materials.

“We will get to INEC office to obtain the documents as listed, inspect them and make photocopies.”
