The Edo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Benin City, Edo State has announced the relocation of its sitting to Abuja.
The announcement was made by the Tribunal Secretary, Muazu Bagudu after a PDP Data Analyst and Expert witness stormed the court to give multiple evidence in proof of the massive rigging that took place in favour of APC in the September 21st Governorship Election in Edo State.
The star witness had proceeded to adopt his written statements on oath amid objections and protests by counsels to the respondents, who were obviously scared stiff of the volume of evidence presented by the witness before the Tribunal.
After giving his testimony which lasted for hours, Counsels to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd respondents refused to start Cross examination and pleaded for adjournment because they were ill prepared to take on the Expert witness.
The Tribunal agreed to the adjournment in the interest of fair hearing, but indicated that this would be the last court sitting to be held in Benin.
The Secretary of the Tribunal confirmed soon after that the Tribunal would relocate to Abuja.
Credible News recalls that the APC Chairman in Edo State, Jarret Tenebe had penultimate week, while appearing as a guest on NewsCentral TV, publicly threatened to arrest and detain PDP witnesses who will show up to give evidence against the election of Governor Monday Okpebholo and APC.
The Tribunal will resume sitting in Abuja on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
The candidate of the PDP, Asue Ighodalo is the main challenger of Governor Monday Okpebholo who won on the APC platform.
