… _Esan North East Collation Witness Recants, its Over-voting_

… _Oredo Witness Confirms Computation of “Strange Results” in Okpebholo’s Favour_

Dramatic moments unfolded at the Justice Wilfred Kpochi-led Edo Governorship Election Petition Tribunal as witnesses presented by the All Progressives Congress (APC) offered conflicting testimonies over the election of Senator Monday Okpebholo as Governor of Edo State—a result being challenged by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo.

Esan North East Collation Witness Recants, its Over-Voting

The APC’s Collation Agent for Esan North East LGA, Theophilus Afuda, initially swore in his witness statement that there were no incidents of over-voting during the September 21st governorship election. However, under cross-examination by PDP’s lead counsel, Abiodun Owonikoko (SAN), Afuda reversed his stance, conceding that cases of over-voting and non-serialization of electoral materials were evident in key exhibits, including certified copies of result sheets and Form EC25B.

He further confirmed that INEC failed to document the serial numbers of ballot papers, result sheets, and other sensitive election materials in the required forms—an omission the PDP argues renders the results invalid in the affected polling units.

“Can you confirm that the prescribed form for recording serial numbers before voting is EC25B?” Owonikoko asked.

“Yes, My Lord” Afuda responded.

“Take a look at the Form EC25B before you. There is no entry of serial numbers for result sheets or BVAS machines. Can you confirm?”

After reviewing the document, Afuda itted: “I can’t find any entries My Lord.”

Oredo Collation Witness Confirms Computation of “Strange Results”

Another APC witness, Engr. Gabriel Idi, who served as the party’s collation agent for Oredo LGA, also delivered explosive testimony. Under cross-examination, he acknowledged that the final results INEC used to declare Okpebholo winner did not match the polling unit results ed onto the IREV portal.

He further itted that while collation agents were required to results before they were recorded into Form EC8C, when presented with the polling unit results used to collate the final figures INEC announced he confirmed that they lacked the signatures of party agents and did not match the signed original EC8A results from polling units which were ed onto IRev.

“These results are strange, My Lord. I do not know where they emanated from,” Engr. Idi confessed, prompting murmurs across the courtroom.

Owan West Witness Exposes INEC’s Lapses

The inconsistencies in the APC’s defense deepened when Frank David, the party’s witness from Owan West LGA, took the stand. Under cross-examination, he acknowledged that INEC presiding officers were required to document the serial numbers of sensitive electoral materials, such as ballot papers and result sheets, in Form EC25B before voting began—but itted they failed to do so.

This procedural omission, already a focal point in the PDP’s case, further fueled arguments that the electoral process was compromised.

Tribunal Adjourns Amid Mounting Tension

As the PDP strengthened its case, Hon. Ifaluyi-Isibor, a PDP chieftain, weighed in on the proceedings:

“We knew the APC would be unable to defend their electoral heist, so we are not surprised that their witnesses are confirming to the tribunal that the election was rigged. In fact, we are grateful to the APC’s witnesses for telling the truth under oath.”

He added:

“For us, the issue is a simple one: if you remove all the invalid votes from INEC’s failure to record sensitive materials, cancel polling units where over-voting occurred, and collate the correct results, Barr. Asue Ighodalo clearly won the election. We hope the tribunal agrees, as every claim we have made is backed by certified, documentary evidence.”

With witness testimonies raising fresh doubts about the credibility of INEC’s final declaration, the tribunal adjourned the case to Thursday, February 13, 2025, for the continuation of hearings.

They ate fermented beans with overstayed boiled eggs beans before the "messed the mess".
That's why they can't cover it.

Rubbish talk!
Has PDP Adamawa in Fintiri case that the REC- just confirmed was rigged for that governor been invalidated now?
Did that Area gather enough Votes to invalidate Other Areas in Edo Elections? All the Parties are major riggers!
The Edo People,the Obas ,the Bales,etc ,are all enjoying Okpebhelo,so PDP,go rest!
Una ed PDP- Mr Fix it- they all Collected the Humongous NBILLIONS Money 💰 for Benin- Ore Express Road and till now, nothing was done!

You have all got to understand Nigeria elections Tribunal by now.. esp Presidential and Governorship..

It's not a place to go get justice or where same Establishment that stole a mandate would restore it..

It's just a place to get certain revelations, at best, of the odd society we all live in...

INEC and APC (the defendants) barely called witnesses, for very obvious reasons.. they already know what would be obtained at the end - so why waste their time and resources.

Same script they played in the last Presidential Tribunal.. where the so-called Lordships told a bewildered nation that the petitioners could not prove their case beyond reasonable doubt.

Those concerned should stop running this country like a jungle. The least they should be doing is obeying their own laws. The International community are watching.

Unfortunately our tribunal judges will still tell you
"You failed to prove your case"

That's it..

If you like bring all the evidence in this world,,

The language is always very simple;;

"The petitioners failed to prove their case beyond all reasonable doubts"

Exercise in futulity, propaganda as usual. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Monday Okpebholo is the duly elected governor of Edo State.

It's only PDP that's putting things out there, so that if they lose, they can get sympathy!
We know the game

News like this is good for Asue's ers health. Al least, some of his followers who might be contemplating on committing suicide because he lost may have a rethink pending the determination of the case by the tribunal.

To catch who thief community band no dey hard because to play am nah problem.
AI'O² is coming!!
#Joyiscoming.

Even INEC who manipulated the figures could not defend the obvious bad rigging how can those illiterate APC witnesses defend the obvious rigging when form EC8A duplicate copies are with the party agents, on IREV and certified by INEC for PDP candidate and it's already before the tribunal, how can the manipulated result sheet cooked by INEC be defended by APC when it doesn't tally with BVAS extract certified? If Nigeria is a country, this case is the easiest to win. Asue Ighodalo of PDP will win this. APC witnesses can't easily lie on oath, PDP lawyers must drill them 🤣

spend 8years in his house u mean.... werey.

Not this case o. Forget what you have seen before or because Tinubu is the president. If they can try it in this case, it means anyone contesting in 2027 against any APC candidates will be wasting their money and energy because INEC will print 3 different result sheet and fill one for APC against the real result.
