The two candidates and their parties alleged in their petitions that the election which Mimiko won, was marred by irregularities and alleged illegal inclusion of 164,742 voters in the register.
Delivering the judgement, Justice Andovar Kaka’an-led three-man tribunal dismissed all the petitions of the two candidates and their parties, insisting that the witnesses failed to prove their case beyond all reasonable doubts.
On the voter register, the tribunal nullified the expert report on the alleged illegal inclusion of 164,742 voters in the register.
The tribunal averred that the issue of voter register was a purely pre-election matter over which it has no jurisdiction.
Their petitions were subsequently dismissed for lack of merit. It was not clear at press time if the ACN, PDP and the candidates will appeal the verdict. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThe petitioners have been disgraced at the tribunal.They tested their popularities on Saturday,20th october,2012 during the election against the King of all trees,I mean IROKO, they were defeated.The judgement has further proven that democracy is working in Ondo State and the people of Ondo State have spoken by giving the Governor the second term to consolidate on the people oriented programmes he has started in the Sunshine State.He who God has created cannot be compared with anybody.“Eni ti Olorun ti daa koo se fi ara we”.Olusegun Mimiko ti see ogun gbogbo olu ni Ondo State.That is to say Olusegun Mimiko has defeated all olus in Ondo State.Iroko baba won ride on.The good Lord is your strength.You did not fail in your first term and you will never fail in the second term in Jesus name.Amen
