Ondo election tribunal to hold inaugural sitting tomorrow

The Ondo state governorship election tribunal will hold its inaugural sitting on Tuesday in Akure.

Justice Umar Abubakar will lead two other justices to hear the petition filled by the governorship candidate of the PDP, Eyitayo Jegede.

Jegede is challenging the victory of Rotimi Akeredolu at the October 10 governorship election in the state on four grounds.

He claimed that the nomination of Akeredolu by the APC contravene section 183 of the 1999 constitution.

Jegede also claimed that the election was marred by violence in some local government area and over voting in other areas.
