The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, yesterday, continued its proceedings with the testimony of three witnesses called by the petitioners, Dr. Asue Ighodalo and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who are challenging the victory of Governor Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

First to testify was WW1M/9, Eseigbe Victor, a farmer and politician from Akoko Edo Local Council. Led in evidence by petitioners’ counsel, Ken Mozia, the witness identified and confirmed the submission of Form EC8A for 28 polling units, including certified copies and agents’ copies as exhibits.
During cross-examination, counsel for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Kanu Agabi, questioned the authenticity of the witness’s role, noting that he had not signed Form EC8B for Ward 9, which is used for ward collation.
He said: “Since you did not sign, what proof do you have that you were a ward collation officer?” Agabi asked, and the witness responded that he noticed irregularities, which led him to refrain from signing the document.
