Counsels to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the petitioners and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the respondents, on Tuesday,
disagreed when the governorship candidate of the PDP, Ladi Adebutu, stormed the Ogun State election petition tribunal with over 8,000 documents.
According to the counsels to the respondents, the petitioner did not write to invite them for the inspection of the documents, saying they were just seeing the schedule of documents to be tendered in court this morning. In his words, INEC’s counsel, Olatunbora said the documents were taken away from the commission weeks ago and would need to be confirmed whether or not the documents are still as released by INEC.
But in their requests, the second and third respondents’ counsels asked the court for two days to go through the 8,000 exhibits brought to court by the petitioners. He recalled that he had given the directive that all parties must tender their documents on Tuesday, wondering why the respondents were not in court with theirs.
