However, while reacting to the claim, Adebayo said:
"Can you amend an election petition on appeal? No. Can you adduce additional evidence on appeal on a ground not filed in a petition? No. Can an Appellant adduce additional evidence on a new issue raised in his reply that was expunged because it was not pleaded in the petition? No.
"It is high time politicians got it that it is not the duty of the Court to help you lynch your opponent. When approaching the court, we are all invoking a constitutional privilege. Be humble before the temple. We can't sacrifice systems for hysterics or institutions for emotions."
