Taiwo Osipitan, counsel to the APC candidate, Governor Dapo Abiodun, had accused the PDP candidate, Ladi Adebutu, of vote buying, while Goddy Uche, the counsel of the petitioner, also accused the APC of the same.
But Mr Osipitan said the PDP cannot add a new allegation into its petition“as it will amount to an expansion of the PDP petition.”It will be recalled that both the APC had accused Ladi Adebutu, the candidate of the PDP, of buying votes with prepaid Verve ATM cards during the 18th March governorship election.
Also, Mr Baba reportedly directed the police commissioner in the state, Olanrewaju Oladimeji, to investigate another petition by the PDP claiming that Governor Abiodun loaded N5 billion on bank-linked vouchers to buy votes during the same election. On his part, Mr Uche also said, “We have argued all the motions except one for which we will be back tomorrow to argue, and after tomorrow maybe the tribunal will give us a date for trial.Abiodun, Amosun exchange jibes as location of Dangote Refinery causes controversy in Ogun State
