The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has postponed its proceedings to Monday, February 10, allowing Governor Monday Okphebholo of Edo State to commence his case.
Naijaonpoint reports that this decision came after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to present its witnesses as initially scheduled for Thursday, February 6.
The lead counsel for INEC, Kanu Agabi, SAN, informed the three-member panel, chaired by Justice Wilfred Okpochi, that they would not be calling any witnesses after reconsidering their position following Wednesday’s proceedings. He stated that there would be no necessity to summon witnesses.
