The Ogun State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal on
Tuesday adjourned proceedings till August 19 for the adoption of
final written addresses by all parties.
This followed closure of the defence by the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the petition challenging the victory of Governor
Dapo Abiodun in the March 9 gubernatorial election in the
state.
The petition “EPT/OG/GOV/01/19” was filed by the Allied People’s
Movement (APM), governorship candidate, Hon. Adekunle Akinlade, and
his party.
Akinlade had alleged that the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) was wrong to have declared the APC candidate as
winner of the governorship poll.
Abiodun, who is the second respondent, had on Wednesday, last
week, through his lead counsel, Prof Taiwo Osipitan (SAN), closed
his defence after having called 32 witnesses who gave evidence
before the tribunal.
When the hearing resumed yesterday, the counsel to APC, Dr Paul
Ananaba (SAN), closed the defence after having called three
witnesses who were cross-examined by other lawyers.
