The Tribunal constituted for the hearing of the petition filed by the candidate of the Social Democratic Party, H.E. Chief Segun Oni on Monday adjudicated on the moderate to be applied in the hearing of petition before the court, which is set to commence on a date to be subsequently announced by the Secretary of the Tribunal.
However, it has become an uncontestable fact that some of the decisions ruled by the learned judges have further weakened the defence of the All Progressive Congress regarding the certificate Saga of the elected Deputy-Governor of the APC. The ruling has not well settled with the APC as they considered it as been dangerous and perilous to the defence of their case.
It has been learnt from good authorities that the APC intends to call additional witnesses regarding the allegation of Certificate forgery against their elected Deputy-Governor, Mrs Monisade Afuye. However, the current ruling of the court has enstopped them from calling additional witnesses as the Tribunal is subject to time constrainment.
After the hearing, the SDP lawyers affirmed their satisfaction with the decision of the court as all their processes and witnesses have been filed before the court. Speaking further, he stated that the true position of law is that the APC has no substantial evidence or witnesses to collaborate all the allegations against them and further stressed that this is a big win for Chief Segun Oni.
