Osun election tribunal grants Adeleke permission to inspect INEC materials
The Osun Election Tribunal in Osogbo on Friday, granted the request of Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP’s) governor-elect, to inspect the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) materials.
The tribunal had also agreed on his request to conduct a forensic audit of the BVAS machine.
Justice Tertsea Kume, the Chairman of the Tribunal, granted Mr Adeleke’s application to inspect and conduct a forensic audit of the BVAS machines.
Hashim Abioye, one of Mr Adeleke’s counsel, who spoke to journalists after the proceeding, said there was the need to conduct a thorough forensic audit of the BVAS machine used for the election.
The Tribunal had on August 22, granted permission to Governor Gboyega Oyetola and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to inspect materials used for the July 16 governorship poll.
Mr Oyetola and APC are plaintiffs in the suit earlier filed, challenging the victory of Mr Adeleke at the governorship election.
INEC had declared Mr Adeleke, governor-elect, as winner of the Osun July 16 governorship elections, where he defeated the incumbent, Mr Oyetola.
Mr Oyetola, who was not satisfied with the outcome of the election, dragged both INEC and Adeleke to court through his lead counsel, Yomi Aliyu (SAN).
