Tribunal sitting on the June 18 Ekiti State Governorship Election will on Thursday deliver it’s judgement.
Recall that Chief Segun Oni of the Social Democratic Party had filled a petition challenging the victory of Biodun Oyebanji of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Oni had also claimed in his petition that Oyebanji’s election was characterised with irregularities.
He had also argued that it was wrong for the Mai Mala Buni-led APC leadership to have supervised the primary election process that led to Oyebanji’s emergence as the APC candidate.
After weeks of arguments and counter arguments, the Tribunal Chairman, Justice Wilfred Kpochi, had adjourned until Nov. 23 for the adoption of final written addresses by the parties.
Kpochi urged the counsel to exchange their written addresses and replies, within the time-frame.
The chairman of the three-member panel had reserved judgment, after all parties had adopted their final written addresses at the last sitting.
Announcing the date for the judgement on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti,the Secretary to the Tribunal,Umar Abubakar said judgment will hold at the Tribunal venue, located within the Ekiti State High Court, Ado- Ekiti by 9.00 a.m tomorrow.
