The Court of Appea in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, yesterday reserved ruling in a motion filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to tender supplementary records in the suit against the candidature of Oyo State Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala.<\/span><\/p>\n

The additional records are in defence of the appeal filed by the plaintiffs against the vacation of an interim order restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising Alao-Akala as the PDP governorship candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three PDP governorship aspirants-Elder Wole Oyelese, Senator Lekan<\/span><\/p>\n

Balogun, Alhaji Yekini Adeojo – and 34 others challenged the candidature of Alao-Akala at a Federal High Court, saying he emerged through an inconclusive primary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Justice Jonathan Shakarho vacated an earlier order restraining INEC from recognising Alao-Akala on February 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plaintiffs approached the appellate court to determine whether it was right for the judge to do so without an application from the respondents.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the PDP applied for the records of proceeding at the lower court, claiming that the one submitted by counsel to the appellants, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), was faulty.<\/span><\/p>\n

A three-man panel, led by Justice Stanley Alagoa and assisted by Justices Sidi Bage and J. S. Ikyegh, sat over the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arguing on the motion for additional records, counsel to PDP Mr. Fagbemi (SAN) said the records before the court were not complete. He attached a handwritten note stating what transpired in court and photocopies of newspaper reports on the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Counsel to Alao-Akala Chief Richard Akinjide (SAN) aligned with Fagbemi that jurisdiction should take priority over other matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Akeredolu said PDP had been excused from the case and a notice of discontinuance was filed at the lower court, so Fagbemi should not have appeared before the court.<\/span><\/p>\n

He argued that the record brought from the lower court should not be admitted because it had not been confirmed by the lower court\u2019s judge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Akeredolu said the photocopies of newspapers tendered as exhibits were not admissible because they were not certified.<\/span><\/p>\n

The court reserved ruling till April 19.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
