Otaru said the petitioners had nearly three weeks, since the tribunal adjourned to get the WAEC representative to appear before the tribunal to prove its case but waited till June 9 to serve the subpoena. Otaru suggested that the petitioners ought to call another witness if it has a case to prove rather than ask for an adjournment. Counsel to Abdulrazaq, Kunle Kalejaiye, SAN, and that of the All Progressives Congress, Akin Olujimi aligned with the INEC’s position, insisting the application was strange.
