Edo Election Tribunal Takes Fresh Action Over PDPs Petition Against APCSource: FacebookPetitioners Cite Widespread IrregularitiesThe tribunal’s concern should not only be about percentages but about the extent of irregularities proven during the hearing, Mozia argued. This case isn’t about producing a separate result; it’s about questioning the credibility of what INEC uploaded to its Result Viewing (IReV) portal, he said, calling on the tribunal to annul the election. INEC, APC Dispute ClaimsThey failed to provide the original results they claim were altered. Without concrete evidence, this petition cannot succeed, Agabi stated. Only five polling unit agents were presented as witnesses out of over 4,000 units. That’s not strong enough to overturn a valid election, Okala submitted. PDP Stands FirmWe are pleased with how the proceedings went and firmly believe we have made a solid case. We await the judgment with optimism, he said. APC Warns of Alleged Disruption PlotWe are aware of plans to disrupt proceedings. The security agencies must act to safeguard the tribunal and the peace of the state, Tenebe urged.
