Senate President Bukola Saraki has prayed the Legislative Houses Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, to dismiss the petition filed by his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opponent, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, on the March 28 National Assembly election.

Saraki's counsel, Yusuf Ali (SAN), predicated his demand on alleged faulty forensic report presented by the PDP candidate to the tribunal.

Abdulrasaq challenged the victory of Saraki as the winner of the Kwara Central Senatorial District, claiming he had the majority votes and should be declared winner.

The tribunal had admitted a forensic report in evidence against Saraki in the petition.

Four volumes of the report of the forensic analysis carried on electoral materials used in four local governments in Kwara Central were marked as 'Exhibits P4'.

Ali averred that the report was dated March 28, 2014, a year before the election poll was conducted.

He told the Justice Josiah Majebi-led threeman tribunal that "the date shows the document was prepared in anticipation of the election".
