Despite all of these glaring facts, there's nothing that the abracadabra supreme court can not do especially under this dispensation so nobody should jubilate yet.

Imagine bringing a witness to defend you, and the first thing he does is confess to over-voting. 😂 Just like that, your case don scatter! Okpebholo’s legal team didn’t even bother calling more witnesses—they just packed their load and closed the case. Na who do them this kind thing?
I guess, they brought total illiterates, he doesn't know the meaning of over voting.

Anyway, it good for politicians, they only use illiterates to achieve political goals, after winning, they abandoned them. If not becos of the case now, I'm very sure, the guy that confessed won't see break light of those politicians again until 4 years.

There's really nothing to defend. The pdp already destroyed their case. I also do not expect the apc to present witnesses too. The burden of proof lies with the petitioner not the respondent.

I’m thinking they will call for a Re-run election that’s the only way APC can come out of this and do there abacadabra politics again.
I agree with you..

They will cancel few LGAs and order rerun...

But then, can PDP win incumbent APC in a rerun elections, having lost same elections when they were ruling?

The prayers from the PDP did not request a rerun in case.

Exercise in futulity. Okpebholo is the Governor of Edo State.
Re: Edo Tribunal: Okpebholo Closes Case After First Witness Admits "Over-Voting" by OldSkoolHeadBoy:
[b]You guys don't know how the electoral and legal system works !

The first issue is it that it is universally recognized that there is no election that is 100% flawless anywhere in the world. The witness that has been called, despite scoring an own goal has only confirmed that there was over voting in only one (1) Polling Unit, out of several hundred Polling Units that were used during the election in Edo State. The judgement to sustain or overturn the election result would be determined based on if there are several of such infractions in several Polling Units that would be sufficient to affect the declared results in favour of the APC Gubernatorial Candidate. The volume of possible number of votes in the affected Polling Units where over voting took place must be greater than the margin of difference between the declared APC winner and the PDP loser that is challenging the process.

Therefore, before you get unnecessarily excited and at the end of the day the judgement does not go in your favour, please note that there would have to be several of this type of revelation that must be in overwhelming volume, if not the result of the election stands as declared ![/b]

Of Course,that is what the gaulibles audiences want,in Social Media but different from what the Law and what the People want!
For example - the fact that there is one Over- voting in One Area, does Not Translate to Over-voting in other Major towns and Cities!
Know the Law well before talking!

Nigeria's democratic justice system is a joke.
You bring proof that someone has compromise the electoral system.
The judiciary agrees sometimes and cancels that particular process so the cheat can cheat again.
No consequence for electoral malpractice - just opportunity to do it again.

We are keenly following the proceedings at the tribunal. I don't know how APC wants to defend this political robbery successfully. If the judicial officers behave professionally and sincerely, APC will eventually relinquish the stolen mandate to PDP.
