APC, INEC ask Ogun election tribunal to dismiss PDP’s petition as parties submit final addresses

the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Ladi Adebutu and his party against the election of Abiodun during the March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state.

Adebutu had approached the tribunal to challenge the declaration of Prince Abiodun as the winner of the governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission , saying that the election was marred with corrupt practices and non-compliance with the Electoral Act. He said that allegations of corrupt practices, non-compliance, multiple thumb printing of ballot papers, ballot stuffing, and forgery as alleged by the petitioners were not proved beyond any reasonable doubt

He noted that the soul of the petition was not duly signed and stamped and, therefore, lacked merit to be adopted and should be struck out. He urged the tribunal to declare Adebutu the winner of the governorship election or, in the alternative, order a rerun of the election in 99 polling units where he alleged that there were disruptions.

It would be recalled that APC and Prince Abiodun had described Adebutu and PDP’s petition as a wild goose chase.
