The Appeal Court sitting in Lagos will, on Friday November 24, deliver judgment in the appeal filed by the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ladi Adebutu, against Governor Dapo Abiodun, his party, All Progressives Congress (APC), and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Sources said the Appeal Court has communicated the decision to all parties.

The Appeal Court will commence sitting at 9am in Igbosere , Lagos Island.

Adebutu is challenging the 30th September ruling of the election tribunal which upheld Governor Abiodun’s victory at the 18 March governorship election in the state.

At the hearing of the appeal, the Court of Appeal reserved judgment after the adoption of all processes by all the parties.

The court said the date for judgment would be communicated to the parties and three days’ notice would be given.

Earlier, counsel to the appellant, Chris Uche, SAN, urged the court to grant his clients’ appeal and set aside the decision of the tribunal.

According to him, the tribunal erred when it failed to consider the case on its merit before proceeding to dismiss the petition before it.

In response, A.J Owonikoko (SAN) urged the court to dismiss the appeal for lacking merit. On the issue of 49,000 disenfranchised voters which the appellant raised, he pointed out that the appellants only called 48 witnesses instead of all the alleged disenfranchised voters whose disenfranchisement was to be proven.

He added that the Court cannot amplify 48 witnesses to 49,000 witnesses, as Appellants want

Similarly, appearing for the 2nd respondent, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) also urged the Court to throw out the appeal while identifying and adopting his brief.

He stated that contrary to the position set out by Chief Uche SAN, the decision in Atiku’s case completely encapsulates the issues in this appeal.

He argued that in that appeal, the Supreme Court simply adopted in toto the decision of the Court of Appeal delivered by this court.

He added that incidentally, the same Samuel Oduntan, who was rejected as a witness by the Court of Appeal in Atiku’s case metamorphosed as PW 93 in this appeal. In response to the Court, he undertakes to provide the court with a copy of the judgment

Olanipekun also identified about eight key findings of the Trial Tribunal that the Appellants did not challenge, adding that the Appellants have abandoned about five Grounds of Appeal.

On the margin of lead, he contended that there is nothing for the Court to even consider. He urged the Court to dismiss the appeal for lacking merit.

In response, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), who identified the 3rd Respondent’s Counter-Affidavit and Written Address filed on 8 November 2023, also prayed the Court to dismiss the application.

He pointed out that the appellants misstated the prayer in the motion because the prayer is to strike out the List of authorities.   (vitalnewsngr.com)
