Agagu, Mimiko may know fate on Thursday
The election petitions tribunal sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital, may deliver judgment in the petition filed by the Labour Party governorship candidate, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, against Governor Olusegun Agagu of the Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday.
A source told our correspondent on Monday that the Justice Garba Nabaruma-led panel would deliver the judgment on Thursday.
But the Secretary to the tribunal, Ms. Rasheedat Rasheed, told our correspondent that the panel was yet to announce any date for the determination of the petition.
The judgment is expected to be relayed live by the Nigerian Television Authority.
There is palpable fear and anxiety in the state following series of allegations and counter-allegations levelled against each other by the LP and the PDP.
Some residents of Akure who spoke with our correspondent said that they would stay indoors on the judgment day as they anticipated that there might be a crisis.
