While Oyetola, APC and INEC had filed their notice of objection stressing that the petition was incompetent and that the court lacked jurisdiction.

Reading the ruling, Justice Peter Obiora held that the returning officer of INEC has no power to cancel the election in seven polling Units on September 23, 2018. Which led to the rerun election on September 27, 2018.

The tribunal held that INEC failed to explain nor justify the alterations and as well failed to call any witness to justify the alteration.

The tribunal held that the attempt to explain the alterations on the basis of mere correction of errors is not acceptable and the fact that the said errors were consistently made was deliberate action taken.
