The
Oyo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Ibadan, on
Wednesday, admitted additional documents as exhibits in a petition
filed by Senator Rashidi Ladoja of the Accord Party.
Ladoja is challenging the declaration of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the April 11 governorship election in the state.
The petitioner also joined APC, Dr Rufus Akeju, INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner and the commission itself as co-respondents.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the tribunal, headed by Justice Mohammed Mayaki, admitted no fewer than 27 documents at the resumed hearing.
The exhibits, which were tendered by the petitioner's lead counsel, Mr Richard Ogunwole (SAN), contained the reports of elections conducted in Itesiwaju, Orire, Ogbomoso North and Ogbomoso South local government areas.
However, Wole Olanipekun (SAN) and Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), counsel to Ajimobi and APC respectively, said they would reserve their objections to the exhibits tendered till the stage of filing their final written addresses.
