Edo Election Tribunal Judges Accused of Corruption for Sidestepping Electoral Act in Dismissing Evidence

The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal's recent judgment, which upheld Governor Monday Okpebholo's election, has sparked controversy. Critics argue the tribunal improperly dismissed witness testimonies and overlooked substantial documentary evidence, including Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) data. Section 137 of the Electoral Act 2022 allows petitioners to rely on documents to prove non-compliance without oral evidence. The tribunal's handling of this provision raises concerns about judicial impartiality and the integrity of the electoral process, leading to calls for a thorough appellate review to restore public confidence in Nigeria's democracy.
