The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the witness, who was the APC collation agent in Ward 3, Units 1 to 8 Polling Station in Oyo East, made the assertion at the sitting of the tribunal in Ibadan.
He spoke during cross-examination by the counsel for the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mr Rotimi Ali.
Shina said that as a Ward Collation Agent for the APC, his duty was to cover ward 3 which comprised of units 1 to 8.
The witness said the result of unit 2 on the result sheet being contested by his party was not altered.
“The scores of 244 for the PDP and 117 for the APC on the result sheet were not altered.
“I am not an APC agent but Ward Collation Agent of the APC that all the party’s agents in ward 3 units 1 to 8 in Oyo East Local Government Area reported to,” Shina said.
Also testifying, a Ward Collation Agent for Ward 4 in Atiba Local Government Area of the state, Bello Kola, told the tribunal that there was a contradiction between what was on his statement of oath and that on the result sheet.
Kola said his statement on oath before the tribunal affirmed that the APC had 150 votes while the PDP had 186 although the scores recorded for the APC and the PDP on the result sheet were 122 and 443 respectively.
The witness said he was not there when the result of unit 7 being contested by his party was collated and announced.
According to him, he relied on the result submitted to him by the APC agent in that unit and no other result was submitted to him with respect to the polling unit.
NAN reports that the tribunal chaired by Justice Muhammed Sirajo had taken a break to resume later in the day as of the time of filing this report.
NAN reports that Adebayo Adelabu, the candidate of the APC and his party are challenging the declaration of the PDP candidate, Seyi Makinde, as the governor of Oyo State by INEC in the March 9 governorship election in the state.
The other respondents in the matter are INEC and the PDP.
