The Election Petitions Tribunal hearing
matters arising from Osun State
governorship election of August 9, 2014 is
set to deliver its final judgment on Friday,
February 6, 2014.
The Secretary of the Tribunal, Mr. Adamu
Aliyu, confirmed the date on the telephone to
our correspondent in Osogbo on Wednesday.
He said, “The judgement is coming up on
Friday, February 6, 2014″
The governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore,
had dragged Governor Rauf Aregbesola of
the All Progressives Congress to the
tribunal.
The Chairman of the panel, Justice Elizabeth
Ikpejime, had on January 23, during the
adoption of written addresses by all parties,
adjourned indefinitely for the final judgment.
Omisore, the PDP candidate who came
second during the poll with 292,747 votes
against Aregbesola’s 394,684 votes prayed
the tribunal to sack the incumbent governor
and declare him the winner of the election.
Omisore’s counsel, Dr. Alex Izinyon ( SAN),
had told the tribunal during the address
stage that Aregbesola admitted that he
scored 234,971 votes and not the the
number of votes credited to him by the INEC
in his final address.
Chief Akin Olujinmi ( SAN), who represented
the first respondent explained that
Aregbesola did not admit that he did not
score up to the number of votes credited to
him.
He stated that what the table meant was that
“assuming with out conceding, the tribunal
cancels the result in the disputed units, the
first respondent would still have won with
the new figure.”
He argued that the petitioner failed to prove
his petition.
The counsel referred to the objection of the
first respondent to the petition filed at the
hearing stage, saying he adopted the two
applications filed to challenge the
competence of the petition.
Based on this, the first respondent urged the
panel to strike out the petition.
The counsel argued that the petitioner
dumped the ballot papers used for the
election and other electoral materials on the
tribunal without demonstrating to the panel
how they related to the case.
He further stated that the duplicate copies of
form EC8A tendered by the petitioner were
inadmissible, adding that those who
tendered them were not the makers of the
documents.
