Labour Party to Inspect Polls Document

THE election petition tribunal sitting in Akure yesterday sustained its earlier order granting the governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP), Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, permission to inspect, scan and make photocopies of polls’ documents. The documents were those used by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the April 14 governorship election in the state.

The Justice G.M. Nabaurma-led tribunal had granted LP an ex-parte order, asking INEC to allow the party inspect any document it wishes to investigate, scan and photocopy at the commission to allow them prosecute their case before it.

    Patience is a virtue which we all have learnt to be, and to God be the glory for the ensuing success would make the wait worthwhile. Victory is just around the corner for truth, democracy, justice and for GOVERNOR OLUSEGUN MIMIKO and Ondo state in general. One thing is clear, Agagu’s nemesis is close and MIMIKO’S VINDICATION is at hand and we in Ondo State will have a lot to thank God for. MIMIKO is the Daniel I repeat that would start the trend of something new that ALL Ondo state from town to town, village to village will benefit from. Hurry up please Election Petition Tribunal for with every passing day, the coffers of Ondo state is being sucked by Agagu the money vampire.

As I appear before you today, I have not seen sunlight for the past four days, ” Ayeni statedl.
