Over-voting exist only in six polling units — Gov Adeleke’s witness confirms

– As Governor, PDP closes cases, Tribunal adjourns till January for final address

Shina Abubakar, Osogbo

A witness, Samuel Oduntan, who testified on behalf of Governor Ademola Adeleke has told the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal that over-voting took place only in six of the 749 disputed polling units.

Former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress, APC, challenged the declaration of Governor Adeleke as the winner of the July 16 governorship poll in the state.

At the resumed hearing of the petition, Oduntan, a Statistician and Forensic Examiner, while being led in evidence by Alex Iziyon, SAN, said he conducted a forensic analysis of the BVAS machine and analysed the result with forms EC8A series to draw his report.

“Under the supervision of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, I conducted the forensic analysis of BVAS machines, I then analysed the result with form EC8A series. My report didn’t determine who won or lost. I only gave the figures. I observed over-voting in 6 polling units. I was paid for the job. But it does not affect the figures and facts in my report”, he said.

Under cross-examination by petitioner’s counsel, Akin Olujinmi, SAN, the witness while being confronted with his witness statement and the BVAS report (Exhibit RBVR) on accreditation figure in Ward 4, unit 7, he said, “in my witness statement, page 7, serial number 138, the accreditation figure as extracted on BVAS machine is 388, but on exhibit RBVR it is 313”.

He also disclosed that in some polling units with many voters, more than one BVAS machine can be used but only one form EC8A is deployed to the polling unit, adding that every BVAS machine has an identifier which states the polling unit it was used, and disclosed that BVAS machine cannot be reconfigured for any other purpose than election.

Meanwhile, the Personal Assistant to Governor Adeleke, Bunmi Jenyo also testified before the Justice Tertse Kume-led tribunal and tendered his (Adeleke’s) certificates before the court.

The petitioner’s counsel expressed objection against the admissibility of the document and reserved their objection to the written address stage before the tribunal admit the documents as read in the exhibit.

Jenyo disclosed that Adeleke obtained Diploma from PenFoster College on July 16, 2021, and a Certificate from Metropolitan college on August 9, 2021.

“The difference between the days the two certificates were issued in just 24 days. I have never worked as an admission officer in any University in the US but the system is open to people globally with cumulative Academic activities to move from one institution to another”, he said.

Meanwhile, counsel to the PDP, Alex Iziyon, SAN, opened his case and said he will not be calling any witnesses, having relied on evidence from other respondents’ witnesses.

He however tendered from the bar, eight documents already submitted to the panel.

Consequently, Justice Kume adjourned the tribunal sitting till January 13, 2023, for the adoption of the final written address.

How was that possible with the said error free electronic voting system

Can Nigeria ever be better than this?

On July 16th, when I was wondering why will Oyetola lose his election, after all, that he has done for the state.

I was so sober and concluded well, maybe my people wanted to give it a try to Demola Adeleke.

A friend of mine called me from Abia state and asked Reformer why will a sitting governor lose his election.

I said I don't know, he said none of the governors from the East can lose their election cheaply like this oooo. I said ok and I caught the phone.

Yesterday, it was so glaring that a sitting governor was robbed, and it was so glaring that there was overvoting in some polling units, especially in Ede.

And I have come to conclude that, if Oyetola had wanted to win back the state on the ballot he would have won. If Oyetola had wanted to use the South East method to win his re-election on the ballot he would have won.

Oyetola didn't promote thugs in his government, Oyetola didn't want innocent blood to be wasted.

All he wanted was how to clear the debts, pay the salary and do some developmental projects.

Let me drop my pen here, as we await the tribunal's judgment.

If your own witness is saying over-voting only took place in six PU, that means there is probably more

Okay oooooo

When I see Zombidiots hyping BVAS I just laugh

INEC- Over voting happened
APC- Over voting happened in 700+ Polling Unit
PDP- Over voting only happened in 6 Polling Unit

Bottom line Over voting happened using BVAS machine

.

Lol, I was telling bluntcrazyman and Garfield1 that bvas not reliable as I'm a witness.

Some thought I was lying.
Anyways till Feb

Whether it happened in 6 or 749 polling units makes no difference. I’m very worried that PDP actually found a way to still rig the election despite the deployment of BVAS.

Whatever that outcome of this Osun state election tribunal, we can no longer believe the lie that BVAS is infallible and can’t be compromised. INEC really needs to explain to Nigerians how PDP was able to compromise BVAS in the six units they are admitting over voting. This is totally unacceptable and those involved must be punished by the law.

Hype on inec ability to deliver the fairest polls ever in the annals of Nigeria is very rife among Nigerians now especially with the reintroduction of irev bvas and electronic transfer of live election results to inec portal has given the populace a fresh believe in inec...but loopholes abounds.

They will always be loopholes but at a reduced rate.but it will be the best since 1999

Hope so...but I have my fears.
Elections in Nigeria are anything but free and fair.2007 own was worst.
The north since 2011 has recorded figures almost in unity but the SE/SS has been on a decline.... which shows that either 2011 was highly rigged or recorded high turnouts.

Pdp and Rigging is5&6.

Yes,I think 2015 and 2019 polls exposed the true voting strength of each region.ss can't exceed 5 mil and ss 3-4 mil.these regions dont like voting
