Days after Osun Election Tribunal granted Governor Gboyega Oyetola and his All Progressives Congress, APC to inspect the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) materials used for the July 16 governorship election that produced Senator Ademola Adeleke, the request by the governor-elect was also granted by the Tribunal sitting in Osogbo on Friday to conduct forensic audit of the BVAS machine.
The Chairman of the Election Tribunal, Justice Tertsea Kume, granted Adeleke’s application to inspect and conduct a forensic audit of the BVAS machines.
Mr Hashim Abioye, one of Adeleke’s Counsel, who spoke to newsmen after the proceeding, said there was the need to conduct a thorough forensic audit of the BVAS machines used for the election.
FRESHPAGE.COM.NG recalls that Tribunal had on Aug. 22, granted permission to Gov. Gboyega Oyetola and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to inspect materials used for the July 16, governorship poll.
Oyetola and APC are plaintiffs in the suit earlier filed, challenging the victory of Adeleke at the governorship election.
INEC had declared Sen. Ademola Adeleke, governor -elect, as winner of the Osun July 16 governorship elections, where he defeated the incumbent, Oyetola.
Oyetola, who was not satisfied with the outcome of the election, dragged both INEC and Adeleke to court through his lead counsel, Mr Yomi Aliyu (SAN).
