Ogun: Tribunal Dismisses PDP Counsel's Application
The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has dismissed the application filed by the counsel to People's Democratic Party (PDP), Gordy Uche, SAN, seeking a stand down after witnesses presented damning evidence against petitioners. Four witnesses, Oyegunle Suleiman, from Sagamu, Mr. Ifetayo Ifede, from Ikenne, and Adelani Yemi, from Abeokuta North, including an official of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Mr. Omotilewa, had appeared before the panel to give evidence backed up by documents against PDP, alleging electoral infraction, ranging from manipulation, disruption of the electoral process, as well as inducement through the preloaded ATM cards with the inscription of Ladi Adebutu’s late mother. All the witnesses convincingly proved and defended their statements with appropriate documents tendered to the tribunal and subsequently adopted and marked as exhibits.
