The Election Petition Tribunal hearing the dispute arising from the June 18 governorship election in Ekiti State has adjourned the hearing following the non-availability of another witness listed to give evidence at its sitting on Wednesday.
The Tribunal Chairman, Justice Wilfred Kpochi, adjourned proceedings till today, after THE counsel to the Petitioners, Obafemi Adewale (SAN) raised an objection to a fresh application from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The INEC application referred to by Adewale was a motion on notice to set aside the subpoena issued by the Tribunal on the witnesses from INEC earlier moved by its counsel, Chris Onwugbonu.
Adewale was miffed that the 4th Respondent (INEC) waited till late Tuesday evening to file an application that the witnesses would not appear in court on Wednesday.
