As the governorship election petition tribunal sits for the adoption of final written addresses today, scores of the supporters of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) have flooded the Isabo court premises in Abeokuta, venue of the tribunal. 

As early as 7:30am, the APM supporters were already in court to solidarise with the petitioner, Hon. Adekunle Akinlade.

Akinlade is challenging, at the tribunal, the March 9 governorship election that returned Prince Dapo Abiodun as the winner. 

Policemen at the entrance of the gate had a hectic time controlling the crowd, who were seeking to go into the court by all means. 

By 8:30am, the court room has been overcrowded with Akinlade's supporters, who were awaiting the commencement of proceedings.

As at the time of filing this report, Akinlade himself has entered the court room, receiving loud ovations from his supporters.
