Court Insists INEC must Produce Adeleke’s Certificate On December 1
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, was directed to provide Sen. Ademola Adeleke’s election results from the 2018 Osun governorship election by the Osun Election Petitions Tribunal, which is based in Osogbo. The petitioners, the All Progressive Congress (APC), are requesting the document marked “INEC Form CF001” from the petitioners’ legal representative. In his ruling on the arguments and counterarguments made by the petitioners’ and respondents’ counsel regarding the INEC Form CF001, the Tribunal Chairman, Justice Tertsea Kume, issued the order. After the respondent (INEC) failed to comply with the subpoena order as regard to what the petitioners were demanding, Kume stated that it would amount to denying the petitioners their right to a fair hearing. He claimed that the Form CF001 was not produced by the Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Mutiu Agboke, who was represented by Shehu Muhammed, citing a lack of custody of the document in the state as the reason. According to the tribunal chairman, the petitioner had provided sufficient justification for their application or subpoena request. On the following adjournment date, he ordered INEC Chairman to present the document. As a result, Kume postponed the case’s hearing until December 1. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reminds readers that the Tribunal rejected the respondents’ (INEC) oral request to discountenance a subpoena issued by the petitioner on November 16. NAN also states that the respondent initially filed an application to contest the subpoena request, but later withdrew it.
