OSUN GOVERNORSHIP APPEAL TRIBUNAL UPDATES

From the appeal court today in the case between governor oyetola and senator Adeleke
Chief Olujinmi submitted that it was erroneous for the Tribunal to rely on certified true copies of Forms EC8A having held that the documents were dumped on the Tribunal
Chief Olujinmi further submitted that the ground of the Petition stated by the Petitioner on non-compliance was restricted to 27 Sept 2018 election whereas the 17 units cancelled by the Tribunal relates to Sept. 22, 2018 election outside the purview of the ground of the Petition.
Chief Olujinmi submitted on behalf of APC that the judgment is a nullity because the Tribunal went out on its own to grant reliefs not sought by the Petitioners whereas it has no jurisdiction to do so!
Judgment in the appeal of Governor Oyetola is reserved and date will be communicated.
Chief Wole Olanipekun submitted that it is clear from the record that Justice Obiora did not sign the record on the day he was absent but signed on all other days.
Chief Wole Olanipekun representing Gov Oyetola has submitted that the majority judgment of the Tribunal should be nullified because Justice Obiora that did not sit throughout the proceedings wrote the judgment and reviewed evidence of witnesses he did not see.

Diuch Reporters

I can see victory for senator Ademola Adeleke of pdp.

Ok

Update From Osun Appeal Tribunal

Chief Olanipekun' s only ground of appeal is that Justice Obiora absent for 1 day of the Tribunal sittings that lasted 4Months. Ignoring the fact that the only 2 witnesses were called on that day out of about 100 Witnesses called! How substantial is that?

There are court records available on that day, even this Appeal Court will refer to and rely on these same records of the Tribunal proceedings. APC/Oyetola have clearly failed to prove any fault in the Tribunal declaring Senator Adeleke as duly elected Governor of Osun.

pls, keep updating us.

"CTC of Form EC8A is dumped" ........ says APC lawyer

This means form EC8A is rubbish, waste, or unwanted material

Kikikikikikikikiki, but INEC is defending same CTC now as authentic results that emanated from the election ������� but altered by ad-hoc staff of INEC ....... why can't present the staff that altered results after PDP and other political parties left polling unit?

Olorun Oba ni nda ede won ru ....... E ri Olorun bii, Oba ti ki si leyin alabosi

Osun Election: Appeal Court Hears Oyetola’s Appeal Against Adeleke
The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal is currently hearing the appeal filed by the Osun State Governor, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress, challenging the judgment of the state’s Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which nullified their election.
The tribunal had on March 22, 2019, in a split decision declared Oyetola’s main rival in the September 2018 election in the state, Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party as the one validly elected as the governor.
It nullified the certificate of return issued to Oyetola and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a fresh one to Adeleke.
The tribunal’s Chairman, Justice Ibrahim Sirajo, in his minority judgment, dissented from the majority judgment adopted by Justices Peter Obiorah and Adegboye Gbolagunte.
Oyetola had in his 39-ground notice of appeal filed on March 26, 2019, urged the Court of Appeal to nullify the majority judgment, which he argued was perverse, replete with contradictions and not supported by evidence led by the petitioners.

Adeleke All The Way.
