*Edo Tribunal: Gov. Okpebholo’s Lone Witness Admits to Over-Voting, Confirms Electoral Act Violation*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWVVAV4Vss8?si=6FXahY49KOBPko7_

In a dramatic turn at the Edo State Election Petition Tribunal, APC governorship candidate Senator Monday Okpebholo closed his defense with a single witness whose testimony - according to the PDP - inadvertently strengthened their case by confirming electoral malpractice and a violation of the Electoral Act.

Speaking on Arise Television’s News Night on February 10, Edo PDP Chairman Dr. Anthony Aziegbemin dissected the implications of Okpebholo’s witness’ submission. The witness, Usman Majek, an APC polling agent for Ward 7, Unit 4 in Ovia South West, admitted under cross-examination that over-voting had occurred in his unit.

According to the Form EC8A from the unit, APC secured 108 votes while PDP got 76. However, the total votes cast were 204, exceeding the 189 accredited voters recorded by INEC’s BVAS. This clear case of over-voting directly violates the Electoral Act, which mandates that any result exceeding accredited voter figures must be nullified.

Aziegbemin emphasized that PDP’s legal strategy was lazer-focused on 765 polling units where over-voting and other infractions occurred. “The principle is simple,” he stated. “The Electoral Act is clear—when the number of votes surpasses accredited voters, the result is invalid. Today, APC’s own witness confirmed our argument.”

He further noted that if illegally inflated results were removed, and lawful votes correctly collated, Ighodalo would emerge as the legitimate winner. He also questioned APC’s legal approach, suggesting that presenting just one witness—who admitted to non-compliance with the Electoral Act—was an act of desperation.

“With this admission, the case is practically closed,” Aziegbemin declared. “INEC and Okpebholo have both closed their cases. Now we wait to see what last-minute maneuver APC will attempt in court on Wednesday.”

As the tribunal moves toward judgment, PDP remains confident. “The facts speak for themselves,” Aziegbemin concluded. “Over-voting occurred. The Electoral Act was violated. We have to as a nation say enough is enough of this impunity. The law should take its course.“

Own goal specialist

The guys that rigged Edo election are unsmart, this is glaring, but our courts are highly compromised, they will knock this off on technicalities

I don't know why that pdp guy is wasting money on lawyers... he'll never win. Wike, Oshomole, Shuaibu, and Tinubu will ensure it never happens

Forget all these noise and drama, every election in 2023 was manipulated except that in Abia.
I remember in Plateau State how we all rallied for Obi. Tinubu was a complete non factor. The turnout was massive yet mysteriously d vote allocated mystery oga was erm, mysterious.
The whole state became a ghost town. It was like a funeral. Hope died; the future died. We all knew it. We felt it in our bones.

Akpakomiza2, are you here?

Tinubu the criminal won't allow the court to do the right thing. You will see how they will change this case that's obvious for everyone .

PDP should not rejoice too much o....

APC can still do some abracadabra

Yimmu

This is just for one polling booth, this affect the overall result?

What ever the overwhelming case against APC, they would still be likely kick it out with "technicalities"

I wait to be proved wrong though

Okpebolo don shoot himself for leg ooooo😂😂
Please, hope that testifier is still safe and health? 🤣🤣

That guy should be given guineas book of record, presidential 🤝, attached with lot of gift ASAP 😂😂

Both inec,Okpebholo and apc could only present one witness so far...the witness came to testify against them truthfully

Mandate thieves are in trouble

You people just want to give yourselves unnecessary high BP.

The Master Rigger and his cohorts will never allow justice to prevail over their dead body.

Okay o

This is why I so much hate Nigerian lawyers

Even with all these evidences they won’t serve justice

Because the foolish idiot in aso rock who bought fake certificates and bishops won’t let the rule of law take place

He is just like the predecessor he alone made president with their APC electoral and judicial corruption that is far worse than anything PDP did.

Buhari reveals how APC won Osun governorship with ‘remote control’

President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, while appealing to traditional rulers in Osun State to support his reelection to enable his administration consolidate on its achievements, revealed that APC was able to win the state’s governorship election held months back with the aid of remove control.

Buhari, who failed to provide details of what he meant by remote control, said: “I know how much trouble we had in the last election here. I know by remote control through so many sources how we managed to maintain the party (APC) in power in this state.”

You may be right about Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC

FactBoyz:
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has said politicians’ sins are forgiven when they join the ruling party.

Oshiomhole made this statement on Thursday, while welcoming new members to the party, at the APC presidential campaign in Benin.

As he reeled out names of those who have defected from the PDP to the APC, he said: “I am told that there are a lot of very very senior people from PDP who have decided to join forces with President Buhari to take the broom to sweep away PDP and to continue to ensure that APC continues to preside all over Nigeria.

“It includes my own brother, my friend who comes from my own clime, Henry Duke Genebe. He is the former organising secretary of PDP and we also have former vice chairman PDP and leader of Edo North of PDP. We also have my brother Chief Esheshi Godwin. He is also former council chairman and my very dear friend. We have quite a number of other leaders who have come.

“We have quite a number of other leaders who have come… in fact, once you have joined APC, all your sins are forgiven.”

If they is over voting and the law say any polling unit that they is over voting should be nullify

So the court will cancel that pulling unit.

My question is if all this over voting area are cancel can the PDP candidate numbers meet that of the APC

Because over voting is not enough reason to sack the governor

Highest is to cancel the affected areas.
Or if PDP can prove that all the vote casted are over voting before they can order for a rerun

Me I know understand the reason PDP are jubilating about a witness that testify in their favor it might even be another APC strategy

You can't make comments without resorting to abuse. So Tinubu is an idiot abi? If they pick you up now, you will start shouting witch hunt. If you want instant change to Nigeria, go and float a party of your own and let see how far you'll go.

You must be snuffing rubber 😏
