Adelabu vs Makinde: Tribunal fixes date for ruling on APC application - Daily Post Nigeria

News Agency of Nigeria reports that Adelabu and his party are challenging the declaration by INEC, of Seyi Makinde, the PDP governorship candidate, winner of the March 9 election in Oyo State.

The tribunal chaired by Justice Sirajo Muhammed, fixed the date after listening to the submissions of the petitioner and the respondents.Earlier, counsel to Adelabu and APC, Mr. Titus Asaolu , had sought for an order of the tribunal to recount the ballot papers used in the governorship election. Asaolu urged the tribunal to direct that the recounting be done in the presence of the representatives of the petitioner, respondents and the tribunal Secretary.But counsels to Makinde and the PDP, Mr Eyitayo Jegede and Nathaniel Oke , opposed the application and urged the court to dismiss it, adding that it was not worth being granted.

Counsel to INEC, Mr Akinolu Kehinde, also opposed the application, saying that the business of counting of ballot papers started and stopped at the polling unit and was not that of the tribunal.
