Akinlade stated this on Thursday while appearing as a “star witness” before the election petitions tribunal sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta. Akinlade dragged Abiodun , INEC and the APC to the tribunal following the declaration of Abiodun as winner of the March 9,2019 governorship election by INEC. The APM governorship candidate said the electoral umpire erred by declaring Abiodun winner of the governorship election in spite of the alleged irregularities that characterised the election. Akinlade, who was grilled for three hours before the tribunal, was the 37th petitioner witness to give testimony over the petition challenging Abiodun’s victory. According to Akinlade, the March 9 polls were fraught with over voting, improper votes counting and alleged non-compliance to the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended).
