After hearing their addresses, The Chairman, Governorship and House of Assembly Elections Petition Panel siting in Umuahia, Justice Lekan Ogumoye announced that the judgment date for the matter will be communicated to the parties involved.
Adopting his address, the petitioner through his counsel, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), said that there is a totally new regime regarding voting and urged the tribunal to dismiss the objections of the respondents.
The counsel for the first respondent and Abia State Governor, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), urged the panel to discountenance the petition saying that the main document the petitioner was relying upon was procured after the petition was filled.
Also, counsel to the 2nd respondent and INEC, Mr. Garba said Local Government evidence are hearsay evidence that cannot be relied upon while Counsel to the 3rd respondent, the PDP, Onyinyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), argued that the case was erected on a very wrong premise and should be dismissed.
