Edo Governorship Tribunal Adjourns to February 10
The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal adjourned proceedings in the ongoing suit filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Asue Ighadalo, against Governor Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to Monday, February 10, in order to allow the Governor to open his case.
This decision followed the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to present its witnesses, despite being scheduled to do so starting Thursday, February 6. INEC’s lead counsel, Kanu Agabi, SAN, informed the three-member panel that they would not be presenting witnesses, leading the court to conclude that there was no need to call any.
