The governorship tribunal resume again today Tuesday 14 february 2017.

It was the turn of INEC the 1st Respondent to start their defence, however this could not hold as they are not ready for that.

Counsel to INEC Oyinye Amunwonye started by complaining that they where bedevilled with so much challenges.

First is that their Senior counsel is not available,
Second they complainee about logistical problems of Conveying INEC staff not statooned in Benin, inability to reach out to NYSC members who have all passed out ftom edo state, also that some others who are sent text messages didn't respond.

Furthermore, he said in order to defend their case, hes is asking for the court to adjoirn till friday, so that they can havr more time to reach out, interact and prepare their witnesses for an effective defense.

Responding the chairman of the tribunal Ahmed Gbadamosi admonished the INEC counsel to have been adequately prepare before hand.

The counsel to PDP objects to the 1st repondents applications, while the counsel tonthe 2nd and 3rd respondent's suppport the 1st resppndents application.

In the judges ruling he stated that is is statutory for the 1st repondents (INEC) starts today, so it will not be out of place to grant them their application to loss 3days from their 10 days, since its still within their timeframe.

He therefore finally adjourned sitting till friday 17th Fedruary, Fedruary 2017.

APC is in power, no matter what pdp does in 3 months, the tribunal judge will rule against PDP, and then they will say pdp were not able to prove their case beyond all reasonable doubt. Then we'd watch and see if the heavens would fall.

This fight is not an easy fight, even if PDP won the election, as far APC is in power, is not dat easy for PDP to take over Edo state. D governor will use the money of the state to fight the fight.
