A legal luminary, Femi Falana (SAN) has urged Osun State voters to sue the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for wasting their votes.

Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, Falana also said it will be a daunting task by Adeleke’s lawyers to overturn the verdict of the tribunal at the appellate courts.

He said, ‘’What the voters in those areas have to do is to sue INEC for damages that you have wasted our votes.

“Looking at the judgement, I believe very strongly that it is going to be a daunting task to impeach the judgement. INEC has to be held completely responsible for what happened.

“INEC will have to go back to the drawing board so that we will not have this experience. INEC will have to put its house in order, If we have this in a presidential election, where you issue one or two reports, it will have a crisis of monumental proportion’’.

It is instructive to note that the Osun State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sacked Governor Ademola Adeleke for overvoting at over 700 polling units in the governorship election.

The tribunal also asked INEC to investigate withdraw the Certificate of Returns from Adeleke and issue it to former Governor Gboyega Oyetola
