An election petitions tribunal sitting in Benin, Edo State, has Affirmed Godwin Obaseki as the winner of the gubernatorial elections held on September 28, 2016.
The Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate in the election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, had challenged Mr. Obaseki’s election, alleging widespread irregularities.
The Chairman of the three-man panel, Justice Ahmed Badamasi, held that the petitioners failed to support their pleadings with evidence as well as abandoned some pleadings in their petition.
Justice Badamasi held that many witnesses called by the petitioners were discredited during cross examination and gave hearsay evidence.
Congrats to governor Obaseki
