Ado Ekiti—The governorship election petition
tribunal sitting in Ado Ekiti, Wednesday granted
the application of All Progressives congress, APC,
requesting the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to allow it unfettered access
to inspect all electoral materials used in the June
21 governorship election.

The tribunal equally granted the motion of APC
to serve the governor-elect, Mr. Ayo Fayose
through a substituted means since the court’s
bailiffs were unable to serve the petition to Mr.
Fayose personally.

The three-man panel headed by Justice
Muhammad Sirajo, granted the order following
an exparte application by the lawyer
representing APC, Mr Kabir Akingbolu.
In the application brought in pursuant to
Paragraph 8(2) of the First Schedule of the
Electoral Act 2010, and under the inherent
power of the court, APC (the applicant) had
complained that efforts to serve Fayose by the
court’s bailiff had not been successful.
File: Ayo Fayose casting his vote during the Ekiti
governorship election.

The exparte motion was brought in pursuant to
Section 151 (1&2) and paragraph 47(1&2) of
the First Schedule of the Electoral Act 2010 as
amended and was supported by a 15-paragraph
affidavit deposed to by Christian Okoh, a lawyer.
Speaking after the ruling, Akingbolu told
newsmen that “The court has granted us an
order to use an expert in handwriting, biometric
data, and scientific analysts that can examine
the ballot papers to prove whether the
allegation we made is true or not, which we
believe will be successfully proved.”
Dissatisfied with the result of June 21
governorship poll in the state, Ekiti State APC
dragged Mr. Ayo Fayose, winner of the election
and INEC to court challenging the victory against
its candidate and incumbent governor, Dr
Kayode Fayemi.
