Appeal Court upholds Adeleke as Osun Governor
on: March 24, 2023, 01:49:27 PM



The Appeal Court in Abuja has set aside the decision of the Osun State Gubernatorial Election Petition Tribunal.

The Court upheld the election of Ademola Adeleke as the governor of Osun State.

Following the governorship polls in the state, an Election Petition Tribunal had  sacked Adeleke from office, saying that the Senator did not score majority of lawful votes during the July 16 governorship polls.

However, in a unanimous agreement by a three-man panel led by Justice Mohammed Shuaibu, the Court of Appeal quashed the tribunal’s judgement and gave its verdict to uphold Adeleke as rightful governor of Osun State.

The Appeal Court Panel revoked the tribunal’s order which directed that a certificate of return be withdrawn from Adeleke and issued to Oyetola.

The panel upheld the issue of BVAS raised against Oyetola, stating that the Osun State tribunal was wrong to have said that there was over voting, a claim that only relied on the evidence by Oyetola and the APC, and as such, doesn’t prove their case in any way.
