A three-member panel of justices headed by Justice UchechukwuOnyemenam told parties involved that the date for judgement will be communicated to them.

In the day’s proceedings, counsel to Governor Sule, Wole Olanipekun, who filed five processes to challenge the appeal, urged the court to dismiss the judgement of the tribunal and allow the appeal of his client.

Olanipekun argued that the tribunal refused to take the submissions of their witnesses during the tribunal hearing and that data from the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) tendered to the tribunal, were merely dumped without being considered as evidence.

After adopting his processes, counsel to Ombugadu and the PDP, KanuAgabi, urged the court to dismiss the appeal against the tribunal judgementstating that their evidence was merely documentary.

On the issue of BVAS, Agabi argued that it was sufficiently demonstrated in the tribunal as demanded by law, with the printout from the machine shown, against the argument that they were merely dumped without being analysed.

Agabi who referred the court to the judgement of the tribunal argued that in delivering judgement, the lower court painstakingly gave a breakdown of how it arrived at its decision.
