The All Progressives Congress (APC) has closed its defence in the petition at the Edo Governorship Election Petition Tribunal challenging its victory in the 21 September 2024 governorship election in Edo State.
The party, which is the third respondent in the petition, closed its case after four witnesses gave testimony to substantiate its claim of victory at the Edo governorship poll.
When the matter came up today, counsel to APC, Ferdinand Orbih (SAN), told the tribunal that his client would close its case because the plethora of documents tendered, the evidence of the petitioners during cross examination as well as the evidence of the third respondent had done justice to the case.
He said that as a result, there was no need to call additional witnesses
