The Ogun State Election Petition Tribunal has reserved judgment in the petition filed by Ladi Adebutu, the governorship candidate of the Peoples
DAILY POST reports that the tribunal resumed on Monday for parties to adopt their final addresses after they had called witnesses and tendered documents in evidence.
Counsel to INEC, Olatubora, argued that the documents tendered by the petitioners were inadmissible because “they were not the makers of those documents.” APC counsel, Ikpeazu, said the petitioners did not state the particular polling units where there was over-voting or non-compliance. He maintained that the entire evidence on over-voting has no platform, asking the tribunal to “dismiss the petition.”He urged the tribunal to hold that “the petitioners have credible evidence which was unchallenged and are entitled to the grant of the reliefs claimed by them in the petition.
He said INEC reports confirmed that thugs disrupted the election, and INEC did not bring any other report or counter the incident reports from its ad hoc staff, adding that “the respondents’ witnesses also confirmed there were gunshots and people ran away.
