Osun State Election Petition Tribunal, yesterday, admitted the documentary evidence tendered by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola that the declaration of Ademola Adeleke as the governor-elect was manipulated.
Among the documents admitted in evidence were the Independent National Electoral Commission regulation and guideline for the election, INEC manual for electoral officials, Forms EC8As, which are election results for Osogbo, Ede North and Ede South local councils, among others.
At the hearing of the tribunal yesterday, counsel for Oyetola, Chief Lateef Fagbemi , informed the tribunal that the documentary evidence sought to be tendered had been cross-checked by the respondents and they all agreed that it should be tendered. However, surprised by the objection, one of the judges queried: “You are raising objection even to your regulations?” Ananaba, in response, insisted on objecting to all the documents as listed in the schedule and hinted that he would give reasons for his objection in the final written address.
Responding to their objections, Fagbemi sought to tender another evidence that contained the ‘schedule of the documents’ to be tendered, but Ananaba again objected on the grounds that it was never pleaded.
