Senator Iyiola Omisore asks NJC to probe tribunal members
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has called on the National Judicial Council to probe the activities of Justice Elizabeth Ikpejime-led Election Petitions Tribunal which dismissed his petition against Governor Rauf Aregbesola on Friday...
Omisore’s statement read, “We had thought that the tribunal members were of impeccable characters when our supporters were calling our attention to unholy liaison between Aregbesola’s agents and tribunal members.
“Indication that the judgment was procured emerged shortly after the
tribunal began its ruling around10.00am on Friday when APC supporters
were jubilating that they had won. It is instructive to note that the
tribunal commenced its ruling at 9.10am and rounded off by 4.38pm.
” The question to ask is: If the APC was not privy to the judgment, why were they jubilating when the tribunal has not pronounced its judgment?
“The National Judicial Commission should beam its searchlight on unscrupulous judges who had compromised and desecrated the judiciary with a view to rid our law court of corrupt judges who have penchant for perverting justice.
“We approached the Tribunal with the abiding faith in God that Justice will be done no matter how long it takes and we are unwavering in our belief that the appellate court would do justice to the petition. “We want to urge our teeming supporters not to despair despite this momentary setback as we shall surely retrieve our mandate in due course.”
