The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Thursday adjourned proceedings to Monday, February 10, for the Edo State Governor, Monday Okphebholo, to open his case.
This development followed the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission, which was scheduled to present its witnesses starting Thursday, February 6, to do so.
INEC’s lead counsel, Kanu Agabi, SAN, informed the three-member panel, led by Justice Wilfred Okpochi, that they would not be presenting any witnesses after giving it a thought at the end of Wednesday’s proceedings.
He said there will not be a need to call witnesses.
