Ondo guber poll: Aiyedatiwa knows fate June 4

The Ondo State Election Petitions Tribunal has fixed June 4 to deliver judgment in the suits challenging Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s victory in last year’s governorship election.
Aiyedatiwa had secured a landslide victory by winning in all the 18 local government areas.
Not satisfied with the outcome of the polls, the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Agboola Ajayi filed a petition at the tribunal.
Other political parties that filed petitions at the tribunal were the Social Democratic Party and the African Democratic Congress.
Chairman of the three-member panel, Justice Benson Ogbu, fixed the date after parties adopted their final written addresses.
The petitioners had asked the tribunal to nullify results of the election for not complying with the Electoral Act as amended.
Governor Aiyedatiwa’s counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun, urged the Tribunal to dismiss the petitions for lack of merit and evidence of electoral malpractice.
Justice Ogbu fixed final judgment on June 4.
