The eyes of the people are now open and everybody is focused on INEC. The people should be ready to defend their votes. Even if they eventually lose the re-run, they will be adjudged as having fought a gallant fight and there will always be another time. We will continue to monitor events.

Agagu vs Mimiko: Appeal court reserves judgment
By Tony Amokeodo and Fidelis Soriwei
Published: Tuesday, 20 Jan 2009

The Court of Appeal in Benin, on Monday, concluded hearing of the protracted legal tussle between the Ondo State Governor, Chief Olusegun Agagu, and the candidate of the Labour Party in the April 2007 governorship poll in the state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.

The court also reserved its judgment on the case, saying that the date of the judgment would be communicated to the parties accordingly.

The President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Umaru Abdulahi, gave 30 minutes to each of the lead lawyers to the parties in the dispute to present their briefs.

The parties — Agagu, Mimiko, the Peoples Democratic Party, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Police had argued their briefs in tense court proceedings that lasted three hours and 30 minutes.

After listening to the arguments, Abdullahi commended the lawyers for their industry.

But the appeal was heard by a panel that was slightly different from the one that heard the appeal which sacked former Governor Oserheimen Osunbor from office on November 11, 2008, as Abdullahi announced a reconstitution of the panel on the grounds that one of the justices would ‘soon be going’

The other members of the panel included Justices Amina Adamu-Augie, Ayo Salami, Kumai Akaahs, and Ndukwe Anyanwu.

Agagu was represented by Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), who led Chief Adeniyi Akintola (SAN), Dr. Alex Izinyon (SAN), Mr. Damian Dodo (SAN) and I.A Adedipe (SAN), while a former President of the Nigeria Bar Association, Chief. Wole Olanikpeku (SAN), led Yussuf Ali (SAN), Mr. Femi Falana and others to represent Mimiko.

Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim (SAN), Mr. Joseph Daudu (SAN), and J. C. A Idachaba led the legal teams of the Peoples Democratic Party, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Nigeria Police respectively in the epic legal battle.

Fagbemi, had urged the court to grant the appeal of Agagu against the judgment of the lower tribunal and faulted the way ballot papers purportedly used in the election were put to use by the Election Petitions Tribunal.

But Olanikpekun countered the submissions of Fagbemi, the PDP, the INEC and police and denied Fagbemi’s claims that the manner in which the ballot papers were sorted robbed his client much of his votes.

He argued further that the evidence in the case was even stronger than that of Oshiomhole, on the grounds that it was more compelling.

Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal in Ibadan, has adjourned indefinitely its ruling in an application brought by the Osun State governorship candidate of the Action Congress, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola.

The AC candidate is seeking the composition of a fresh panel to hear his petition against the election of Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola.

Our God is good and forever will be in control of our destination and destiny in Jesus name. I feel very good for I know that Jesus never fails and Lord God Jehovah will deliver in the very near future, when our Governor ~Elect, Dr Mimiko takes over. Still on the issue of symbolism, cant you just see how God is moving in this Mandate matter. What is the significance of Tuesday 20th January 2009? I mean in America/the whole wide world. Yes thats right Obama's innauguration as first black president of the USA will take place watched by the whole world. Very moving even before the date. Equally moving also will be Dr Mimiko's swearing in, in Ondo State in February 2009 when Democracy will win the day to the sheer delight of all lovers of truth and justice, and especially in Ondo State. We wait with joyous and Godly anticipation. Love all, and Love God my people. Peace :) Agagu is a gonnnneeeerrrrr Iroko yi jo gba sibe o jareeeeeee sir.

The role of elders can never be ruled out. I mean elders with wisdom, integrity, caring heart and understanding the plight of the people. I was in a Night Vigil where the GO of the RCCG ministered 16/01/09 at Port Harcourt in one of the campus. I was convinced that we still have elders that will rediret and guide our youths in the right direction. I really appreciate what came out of the experience giving on the plan crash. It is a great significace to me also. God is in our plane because we will not crash in Jesus Name, as angle are position to be a blessing and guide to us.
