Adegboyega Oyetola, Governor of Osun State, his party, the All Progressives Congress , have called on the Court of Appeal in Abuja to reverse the March 22, 2019 judgement of the state Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal that cancelled Oyetola's victory in the governorship election held in September 2018.
In his appeal on Wednesday, Oyetola, the APC and INEC urged the five-man panel of the Court of Appeal led by Justice Jummai Sankey, alongside Justices Abubakar Yahaya, George Mbaba, Isaiah Akeju and Bitrus Sanga, to set aside the majority decision of the tribunal, uphold their appeals and dismiss the October 16, 2018 petition by Adeleke and the PDP.
“Adjudication is like video watching. It cannot be done by proxy. The judge cannot analyse the evidence of a witness, whose demeanour he did not observe. The judgment should be declared a nullity on this ground alone,” he said. Ikpeazu said: “Looking at the totality of the record, there is a conflict and it can only be settled through an affidavit.”
Olujinmi accused the tribunal of exceeding its jurisdiction when it engaged in amending the petitioners’ reliefs to make them grantable.“On realising that the reliefs could not be granted, they amended the reliefs and granted it by themselves.
