One of the witnesses of the Ogun State chapter of the People's Democratic Party, Olusanya Olatunji, on Tuesday, fumbled during cross examination at the sitting of the State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta.
Olatunji said, he neither knew the petitioner (Ladi Adebutu) in the matter he appeared as a witness nor the date the governorship election was conducted.
Olatunji, who seemed to have demonstrated ignorance of the content or import of the witness statement he deposed to, also said he did know the process by which he became the party agent during the election, stressing that he did not also know who were the respondents in the matter.
Olatunji, a PDP member, who came from Idowa, in Odogbolu local government, admitted to have deliberately concocted the figures he supplied in his witness statement with regards to registered voters and PVCs collected in his area.
Another witness called by PDP, Abidemi Adenuga, while being crossed examined said, the gubernatorial election in the State was held on March 13th, instead of March 18th.
Also, the witness didn't know what petitioner, form EC8A and form EC8B mean, as well as how he came about the figures of PVCs collected as purportedly stated in his witness report.
In addition to this and rather amazingly, the PDP witness said she didn't know the process by which she became a party agent as claimed by the PDP, and even who the respondents in the case are.
