Inec And Obaseki Begs Tribunal Not To Recount Ballot papers by BERNIMOORE: 6:46pm On Feb 08, 2017 |
Yusuf Ali (SAN) counsel to the PDP, described as, ‘acrobatic summersaulting’, the submissions of the respondents. Ali (SAN) told the court why the documents needed to be recounted, when he said, “I apply to your lordship that the ballot papers from these LGAS be recounted, in order to ally the fears of all parties about the ballot papers”. He said that the arguments from all the respondents particularly that of counsel to governor Godwin Obaseki, Mr Ken Mozai, (SAN) were not only inappropriate and irrelevant but inapplicable. He added that this is because Obaseki, doesn’t have any locus standi to oppose the application after initially approving the same application, adding that the only grounds on which they can object is if they think that the documents have been tampered with. He argued that, “This application ought not to be opposed by anybody who has nothing to hide. A case like this at the tribunal is a trial of democracy and our electoral process”. He said, “This is not the kind of case we should be playing hide and seek;am so disappointed that INEC whose documents were subpoeanae to court, who ought to be spearheading this application is opposing. How can INEC object that their own documents can’t be recounted? It is worrisome”. 1 Like |

The ballot papers must be recounted in court, whether APC, INEC and Obaseki likes it or not. Edo people votes must count. 1 Like |
