“So, having adopted our final written addresses and watertight evidence, we are confident that the tribunal will right the wrong and return the mandate which Edo people duly gave to our party and its candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo,” he said.
According to him, the APC acting chairman Jarret Tenabe and senator Adams Oshiomole had claimed in separate separate TV interviews said the PDP dumped documents on the tribunal, without presenting enough witnesses, adding “the APC leadership lacks the acumen to read and understand our petition”.
“It is the members of the tribunal who possess the expertise and acumen to thoroughly examine and understand our petition, not the APC leadership” he said.
