Faleke made the call in Abuja on Monday while being led in evidence at the tribunal by his counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN).

“I confirm to all the documents that were tendered this morning to be the ones I refer to in my petition.

“I will like to adopt the documents in my witness statement on oath and as my evidence in the petition.

“I want the tribunal to accept my petition and grant my reliefs as stated in paragraph 27 of my witness statement on oath and declare me as the winner’’, Faleke said.

When asked during cross-examination by the Counsel to the 1st respondent, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), if he was still a member of the All Progressive Congress (APC), he said ‘yes.’

He said “I am not aware that the 2nd respondent, Gov. Yahaya Bello, is a member of the APC. All I know is that the 2nd respondent campaigned and worked for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

“I was also not an aspirant at the primary election, but one of the conditions Audu picked me as his running mate was because I am a member of the APC.”

Faleke told the tribunal that he did not know any of the candidates who contested with the late Audu.

According to Faleke, “I did not see the result of the primary election because I left the venue but the next information I had is that Late Audu won the primary and I was chosen as the running mate.”

He also told the tribunal that the result of the election, which he said he co-won with Audu, the late APC candidate , was declared in each polling unit and each of the ward collation centres.

Faleke said the death of Audu had nothing to do with the inconclusiveness of the election and that they had already won before it was declared inconclusive.

He said that he knew they had already won the Nov. 21 governorship election and that was why he did not participate in the Dec. 5 election.

“Myself and Prince Audu were declared winners at each polling unit, ward collation centre, each local government and the state collation centre. The state’s Returning Officer declared the result at the state collation centers.

“Prince Audu died in the morning and the election was declared inconclusive in the evening, so it was declared inconclusive far after the death’’, Faleke said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that part of the documents that was tendered and admitted in evidence were Form CF001, Form CF002 and many more.
