Tribunal Refuses To Stop Ladoja's Petition. by sanjex212: 8:42pm On Jul 31, 2015 |
The Oyo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal,
sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, has dismissed a motion filed
before it by counsel for the state Governor Abiola Ajimobi
and the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress to
strike out the petition brought before it former governor
Rashidi Ladoja and the Accord Party.
Ladoja and his party, the AP, are challenging the result of
the last governorship election in the state which declared
Ajimobi, the governorship candidate of the APC, as the
winner while Ladoja, who contested the April 11 poll on the
platform of the AP, as the runners up.
Counsel for Ajimobi, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), and
Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), who represents the APC
argued that the motion filed by Ladoja, dated July 3, 2015,
was defective on the ground that it was not signed by an
identifiable counsel.
Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Mohammed Mayaki,
explained that the first motion was to determine whether the
application was signed by the petitioners’ counsel while the
second was to determine if objections raised should be
taken alongside or one after the other.
In his ruling, Mayaki stated that the petitioners’ counsel
clearly signed the petition and stated the address of his
legal firm.
He said, “The name of the counsel was stated in the
application and the petitioner signed on top of his name. The
tribunal is not in doubt that Ogunwole represents the
petitioners. The tribunal affirms that the counsel for the
petitioners is clearly stated.”
