The tribunal subsequently directed the petitioner to allow all the respondents access to the documents. The respondents are to begin examining the documents on Tuesday and the examination ends on Wednesday. Before the adjournment of proceedings, the counsel to the petitioner, Dr. Ayeni, had sought to move an application to allow the petitioner to tender, use and rely on certain documents including a report of inspection, sworn witnesses of certain persons listed on its application as well as other electoral documents used or purportedly used in the election which is the subject matter of the petition.

He also indicated that he would take time to respond appropriately to the application.
