An official of the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC), Mr. Fasasi Sarafa, yesterday, appeared before the Ogun Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta, to present the certified true copy of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s WAEC certificate.
The examination council was subpoenaed to tender Abiodun’s O’level certificate following allegation of certificate forgery leveled against him by one of the witnesses called by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the course of proceedings at the tribunal.
Counsels to the respondents expressed no objection to the certificate tendered, but counsel to petitioners, Gordy Uche (SAN) said that he had reservations concerning the copy of certificate brought by WAEC in comparison with what was earlier submitted by counsel to Abiodun.
He also informed the court that the 2nd respondent was ready to open his case, adding that he would close his case between Tuesday and Wednesday next week as he applied for an adjournment for his client to have enough time to prepare witnesses.
