The Delta State Election Petition Tribunal continued its sitting yesterday, the day’s proceedings started with an application from Ovie Omo-Agege and APC lead counsel Fagbemi SAN, there was objection and arguments from PDP lawyer before the Tribunal stood down proceedings for about two hours before reconvening, the Tribunal deferred to 26th July to deliver on the application.
However, Ovie Omo-Agege and
the APC called its 1st expert witness, Barrister Efe Duku. He did so well in
his defence that even PDP lawyers saluted him for a job well done. Duku’s
testimony lent credence to the obvious fact that the People’s Democratic Party
and the PDP governorship candidate bypassed the use of BVAS in the
accreditation process. They were simply credited with outlandish fictitious
figures that did not correspond to the number of accredited voters.
Barrister Duku’s
attestation definitely exposed clearly the fact that the governorship election
results were manipulated and contrived by INEC officials to make Sheriff the
winner, albeit fraudulently.
The onus is
now on the Justices of the tribunal who owe it as a duty to themselves,
Deltans, Nigerians and indeed God, to declare Ovie Omo-Agege the rightful
winner of the March 18, 2023, gubernatorial election.
But as usual, we know that
Okowa is putting tremendous pressure on the justices of the Tribunal hearing
the petition challenging the declaration of Sheriff Oborevwori as the winner of
the governorship election with his humongous bribes to maintain an illegal
status quo.
We, therefore, call on justices presiding over the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal to be resolute and remain faithful to their oath of office and allegiance by dispensing justice without fear or favour. We cannot afford to go back to the era of impunity in this country.
There is no doubt that the expected Delta Tribunal judgment will reveal the truth
