The Osun State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP has called on the National Judicial Council to probe the sudden relocation of the sitting of the Osun Governorship Election Petition Tribunal to Abuja.

This was contained in a press statement signed by the Chairman Osun PDP, Hon Soji Adagunodo which was made available to Daily Trust today (Sunday).

The party also described the relocation of the sitting of the Osun Governorship Election tribunal to Abuja as another sign that there was a desperate and evil plan by some forces to implement a pre-written script on the proceedings and outcome of its petition before the tribunal.

The party said though it was not shocked by the relocation of the sitting of the tribunal away from Osogbo, the State capital in view of the several boastings of prominent APC leaders to that effect in the last few weeks, it is very disappointed that a very important institution like the Judiciary would allow itself to be cheaply manipulated by unscrupulous elements in the political space.
