The Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan on Thursday upheld the judgment of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal delivered on October 23 in Abeokuta which upheld the victory of Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun.

The five-man panel of the Appeal Court headed by Justice H.M Ogunjimiju unanimously upheld Amosun’s victory and dismissed the appeal filed by Mr Adegboyega Isiaka of PDP.

The judge said that the report of the witness was inconsistent and that there was no doubt that he did not take part in the inspection of the electoral materials.
Ogunjimiju said that the witness indicated to the court that he was not an expert while his testimony indicated an opinion of an expert
The panel said the court could not give any probative value to the testimony of the witness because he was not an expert.
