A motion by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Ladi Adebutu, to the Election Petition Tribunal in Abeokuta, Ogun State, seeking to overturn Governor Dapo Abiodun’s prayers establishing charges of vote buying against them was in Thursday denied.
Abiodun had made a charge of electoral fraud against the PDP and Adebutu in the state’s March 18, 2023 governorship election in a response to Adebutu’s suit.
The tribunal unanimously agreed to accept the section of Abiodun’s response to the petition that details the scope and consequences of the alleged election fraud committed by Adebutu and the PDP.
