Oyetola Granted Access To Election Materials By Osun Tribunal

Post created on 9:52 am

The Election Petition Tribunal in Osun, Osogbo, granted Governor Gboyega Oyetola and the All Progressive Congress permission on Monday to inspect materials used for the July 16, governorship poll.

The tribunal also granted the plaintiffs’ request to electronically scan the voters’ register used for the election, as well as the election ballot papers.

Justice Tertsea Kume, the chairman of the tribunal, while granting the two applications (motion exparte) by the plaintiffs, ordered that Osun governor-elect, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, be summoned through ‘substitution of service of notice’.

Kume however said the notice of summoning should be pasted on the notice board of the tribunal.

Chief Yomi Aliyu (SAN), the counsel to APC/Oyetola, earlier said two applications were served to Adeleke by the court bailiff but he refused to honor them.

He said the bailiff went to Adeleke’s house at Aisu, Ede, but that the security guards turned the bailiff away after a call was made to someone in the house that directed them not to collect the summon notice.
