Those Complaining About Tribunal's IREV Ruling Celebrated When Same Ruling Was Made In Osun- Oshoma

Popular Nigerian lawyer, Liborous Oshoma has come out to say that those who are complaining today about the ruling of the presidential election petition tribunal on INEC’s failure to use IREV to transmit election results are the same ones who celebrated when the courts made the same ruling in favour of the people’s democratic party in the Osun state governorship election petition tribunal.

According to Liborous Oshoma who appeared in an interview on Arise TV this morning, the law permits INEC the discretion to make changes to the regulations they laid down before the election with regards to use of IREV to transmit election results.

In his own words…

“If INEC gave a regulation and they are not able to comply with that regulation, does the law permit them that discretion? The answer is yes. So do you know that when the Supreme court delivered this same judgement in the case of Osun state, those that are complaining today, celebrated that ruling? On the same IREV, the supreme court said that INEC has the discretion to make changes to their regulations and this went in PDP’s favour. They celebrated it, saying it’s victory for democracy. So likewise, the APC that complained about that ruling in Osun are the ones celebrating it now.”
