Additionally, the deputy governor called a witness who attested to the fact that the deputy governor is an attorney whose Call to Bar certificate was included on INEC’s form.
The PDP witness told the tribunal that, although he was not physically there on election day, he was virtually present in the local government areas of Ogbia and Nembe. On election day, he said, individuals whose names were not checked in the register did not cast ballots.
The witnesses’ name was included in a certified copy of the voters register, which the tribunal took into evidence over the petitioners’ objections.
The tribunal has scheduled the adoption of written addresses for April 22.
