I Didn't Forge WAEC Certificate, Adeleke Tells Appeal Court - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the September 2018 governorship election in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on Tuesday told the Court of Appeal in Abuja that he never forged the West African Examination Council certificate he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission to secure clearance for the gubernatorial election.
In the final adoption of his brief of argument by his lawyer, Kehinde Ogunwumiju , Adeleke told the three-man panel of the court presided by Justice Adamu Jauro, that what he presented to the electoral body to secure qualification for the gubernatorial election was exactly what the examination body presented before the lower court when it was ordered to do so by Justice Musa.
He consequently urged the Appeal Court to set aside the judgment of the lower court and dismiss the suit of the two APC chieftains for being incompetent and lacking in merit. According to Enoidem, the suit was filed after 44 days the cause of action arose, while judgment was delivered outside the 180 days prescribed by law for a pre-election matter.
In their own argument, the two respondents through their counsel, Joel Akomolafe, however urged the court to uphold the judgment of the lower court, adding that the appellants did not appeal the issue of jurisdiction at the lower court.
