PDP, AD & Others Did Not Challenge Ondo Polls At Tribunal As 21 Days Elapses by agabusta: 7:03am On Dec 22, 2016 |
Ondo result: Akeredolu lauds Jegede, Oke The Ondo State Governor-elect, Chief Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), has commended his opponents at the last governorship election in the state for accepting the result of the election in good faith. The time allowed by law to file petitions at the Election Petitions Tribunal to challenge the poll result lapsed on Sunday, December 18, 2016, which was 21 days after the announcement of the results of the poll. No contestant had filed a petition against the winner of the poll as of Sunday. Akeredolu was declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission after defeating 26 candidates of other political parties in the November 26 poll. The governor-elect, who spoke with our correspondent on Tuesday at his hometown in Owo, Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, believed that the election was free and fair. He commended the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the election, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), and his counterpart in the Alliance for Democracy, Chief Olusola Oke, for displaying good sportsmanship by not challenging the result of the election at the tribunal. He said, “I have to praise my other contestants, especially, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede and Mr. Olusola Oke. I am sure that they have seen, as senior lawyers, that we are in a position to accept the result of an election. “Having assess all the parameters, we believe the election was free and fair and I want to believe that their attitude is worthy of note and all of us, at least, should try to emulate that in subsequent elections.” According to him, with no case at the tribunal, he would be able to concentrate on governance after the swearing-in. He hailed INEC and the security agencies for the smooth conduct of the election, adding that the electoral commission was moving towards conducting acceptable elections in the country.

Good. It was a fair election,not marred by anything. The PDP had no grounds to contest this one. It was a win win situation for APC. 10 Likes |

HungerBAD: In addition, as stated by Akeredolu, those guys as senior lawyers have actually seen that there is no loophole they can validly anchor their case on to warrant cancellation of the election and have decided to save their time and money. This is even more so in view of the rulings of the supreme court over recent elections, as they have refused to cancel 'ANY' election and order a rerun. In other places, desperate lawyers will convince them to challenge the results just to milk them. I wonder why Sylva was challenging the victory of Dickson. It doesn't make sense and was just a waste of time and money. In essence, it was a distraction, just like many other election petition. 6 Likes 1 Share |

They are tired of fighting I guess or maybe they want to be included in the padipadi governance, but who knows maybe they are smart enough to insulate themselves from EFCC persecution, EFCC doesnt arrest or persecute APC and friends of APC! 3 Likes |

They simply want the people to learn their lessons from the election and be able to evaluate the choice they have made. 2015 presidential election is a recent example as it was not also challenged by the major contestants 1 Like 1 Share |
