The governorship election petition tribunal sat from10:34 a.m. to 7:24 p.m. under tight security.
The governorship election petition tribunal in Osun State has adjourned for judgement after counsel to the parties adopted their final adresses.
The main arguments of the petitioners are that Mr Adeleke allegedly forged the academic credentials which he submitted tfor the election and that there were over-voting in 749 polling units during the election. Mr Ananaba said that the BVAS reports tendered by the petitioners were incomplete because the INEC server had not completed the synchronization process when it was issued to them.
But counsel to the APC, Lateef Fagbemi, said the issue of synchronization is unknown to the electoral law.Mr Fagbemi said analysis of the election results and reports of the BVAS machines showed that there were over-votings in some polling units.Onyechi Ikpeazu, counsel to Ademola Adeleke, argued that the forgery claims of the petitioners have not been proven with documentary evidence.
