The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure on Monday confirmed the decision of the Ondo State Elections Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Mike Omogbehin as a member representing Okitipupa/Irele constituency at the House of Representatives.
The Justice Muheed Owoaade-led court dismissed the appeal filed by Victor Akinmoyero of the All Progressives Congress for failure to tender credible documentary evidence against the respondent.
Mr. Owoaade held that the appellant, Mr. Akinmoyero, only ”tendered hear-say evidence” and also failed to call enough witnesses to prove his allegations of over voting and other electoral irregularities in March 28 election.
The three-man appellate court said the PDP lawmaker, Mr. Omogbehin, was duly elected and a fine of N30, 000 was awarded against the appellant.
While reacting to the judgment, counsel to the APC candidate, Tunji Abayomi, said it was sad that the court reached such conclusions.
But his counterpart of the PDP, Remi Olatubora, described the court’s decision as a true reflection of the will of the people and the rule of law.

Why didn't they uphold that of Rivers?

PDP won't cry foul over this decision, but if the APC candidate had won, they would be blaming Buhari for interference.

PDP wouldn't shout judicial rascality now. I could remember a Member of the Edo State House of Assembly from Etsako West State Constituency II, Mr Yakubu Gowon of the APC was removed by the Tribunal and declared Mr Sylvanus Eruaga of the PDP, the runner-up, as the winner on the ground that the APC' Candidate, Mr Yakubu Gowon was not properly nominated by the Party adding that the notification of Primaries sent to INEC was less than the 21 days mandatory. PDP cheered the Tribunal for the judgement.

But why would that same PDP be angry and say they should have ordered for a rerun in Taraba State when it's obvious that the reason an APC House Member from Edo State was removed is still the same reason the Tribunal gave for removing the PDP Governor of Taraba State, Darius Ishiaku?! Ain't that hypocrisy? When it favours them (PDP), the celebrate it. When it's against them, they call Buhari names. They ain't normal at all.
