The election of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has been affirmed today by
the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja,thus dismissed the earlier judgement of the election tribunal that upheld Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress APC as the governor.
The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, held that the appeal Adeleke lodged to challenge his sack by the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, was meritorious.
Aside from setting aside the judgement of the tribunal, the court, in its lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Mohammed Lawal, awarded N500, 000 cost against the APC, and its candidate, Oyetola.
