The Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan this morning set aside the ruling of the Ogun State Election Petitions Tribunal which struck out the petition of the ANPP governorship candidate, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, challenging the election of Otunba Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State in the 14 April, 2007 governorship election.

The court ordered the tribunal to commence a fresh hearing of the case on its merit.

The tribunal had in its judgement on 19 October, 2007 ruled that Amosun failed to supply details of his locus standi to challenge Daniel’s election.

The tribunal accused him of not stipulating his political party and right to challenge the election of Gbenga Daniel.

He was also accused of filing his petition six days after the mandatory 30 days, required by the law to do so.

But the Appeal Court led by Justice K.B. Akaahs, said Amosun has satisfied the necessary conditions which qualified him to challenge the election of Gbenga Daniel, adding: “I hereby set aside the ruling of the Ogun State Election Petitions Tribunal delivered on 19, October, 2007 and hereby order a commencement of fresh hearing.”

However, earlier this morning, palpable tension enveloped the premises of the court as hundreds of politicians thronged the court for the judgement.
