Court Throws Out Senator Adeseun's Case Against Seyi Makinde

An Ibadan High Court has thrown out a case instituted by Senator Ayoade Adeseun, challenging Oyo State Governor-elect, Engr. Seyi Makinde's emergence as the gubernatorial candidate of PDP in the state, for lacking in merit.

The presiding judge, Justice Ganiyu Sunmonu ruled in favour of the PDP, and dismissed all the grounds of the case.

The judge said, that Adeseun’s counsel could not prove with substantial evidence that the delegates list for the primary was doctored.

The judge said “he who asserts must prove. The claimants must provide the names that were removed, to prove that the list was doctored.”

At the opening of the court proceedings, which started in January 2019 of the case, the claimant's coursel, Michael Lana presented 14 witnesses, while defendant's coursel presented eight.

The two witnesses called by Adeseun’s counsel, Mr. Michael Lana, however, told the court presided over by Justice Ganiyu Sunmonu how they were allegedly brought in from Iwo local government in Osun state as fake PDP delegates to vote for Makinde during the September 30th gubernatorial primary held at the main bowl of Obafemi Awolowo stadium, Ibadan.

One of the witnesses, Maruf Alimi, told the court that he participated in the Oyo state’s PDP primary despite being a member of the All Progressives Congress at Iwo local government area in Osun state.
