Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal hearing the petition of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola against the declaration of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the Governor-elect has adjourned sitting till Tuesday, October 4, for the proper commencement of pre-hearing.
The adjournment followed the decision of the tribunal to grant INEC, PDP and Adeleke 7-days to respond to the pre-hearing form served on them by the tribunal.
At the maiden sitting of the tribunal, counsel for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Kayode Olagoke, (SAN), informed the court of his readiness to continue with the pre-hearing session, having filed his form TF008, where issues for determination were raised.
On the request of the tribunal for advice, Olagoke suggested that the matter should be stood down for a few hours for the respondents to also respond to the tribunal pre-hearing form.
