Notable members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, are in court as the governorship election petition tribunal is to deliver judgement in a petition filed before it by Oloye Bayo Adelabu of the APC against the election of Governor Seyi Makinde of the PDP.
OYOINSIGHT.COM observed that many party faithful arrived the court premises as early as 6 am, only to meet security operatives on ground.
Apart from lawyers and those who have genuine business to do within the premises, those who were granted access were screened.
OYOINSIGHT.COM can report that the judges commenced reading of the judgement around 10:15 am.
This newspaper had reported how the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, announced Makinde as the winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship election after defeating Adelabu and others.
Not satisfied after studying results in units, wards and local government area, Adelabu had gone to court to challenge Makinde’s victory.
After many weeks of legal fireworks, the governorship election petition tribunal recently admitted the final written addresses filed by Makinde, Adelabu, PDP and INEC.
