Ruling on the motion, the chairman of the tribunal, Justice Anthony Akpovi granted the prayers and ordered that petition and other relevant documents should be pasted on the entrance wall or any other conspicuous location at Omititun office of Engineer Seyi Makinde and secretariat of Peoples Democratic Party.
