Osun State chapter of the  People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has protested alleged disbandment of election tribunal panel sitting in Osogbo, the state capital.

Members of the party stormed the premises of the tribunal, at the state High Court, yesterday, with placards to protest the sudden disbandment of the panel, a few days after the party’s governorship candidate, Ademola Adeleke, filed a petition at the tribunal.

One of the party’s chieftains, Niyi Owolade, who addressed newsmen said the PDP had filed a petition on Tuesday, in which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the governor-elect, Gboyega Oyetola, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) were joined as respondents.

He further said while the first respondent (INEC) had been served, Oyetola and his party, (APC) had declined service, which compelled it (PDP) to file an application for substituted service.
