Femi Falana (SAN), a senior lawyer and human rights activist, has said it will be a daunting task for the lawyers of the Osun state governor, Ademola Adeleke, to get the verdict of the state governorship election tribunal overturned. Recall that the tribunal sacked Adeleke for overvoting and declared the former governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, as the winner of the July 16, 2022, gubernatorial election.
Speaking during an interview with Arise TV on Sunday, January 29, Falana said voters in Osun state should sue the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for damages over the wastage of votes.
“What the voters in those areas have to do is to sue INEC for damages that you have wasted my votes.
“Looking at the judgement, I believe very strongly that it is going to be a daunting task to impeach the judgement. INEC has to be held completely responsible for what happened,” the senior lawyer said.
Speaking on what INEC should do after tribunal judgement, Falana Falana said the tribunal verdict indicates that INEC needs to go back to the drawing table so that such an experience will not recur.
