Also, he tendered the petitioner’s schedule of documents for EC8A comprising of 143 forms; EC8B with 35 forms; EC8C, 25 forms; EC8D and EC8E, one form each.

Counsel for Oborevwori and the Peoples Democratic Party, Samson Egege and Ekeme Ohwovoriole, SAN, respectively objected to the admissibility of all the documents tendered except EC8E which is has to do with the declaration by INEC.

They, however, said they reserved their detailed objection till their final written addresses.
