The Supreme Court on Tuesday declared Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the duly elected Governor of Osun State.
The apex court gave the ruling while setting aside the appeal by Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenging the election of Ademola Adeleke.
In its judgment read by Justice Emmanuel Agim, also upheld the Appeal Court’s judgment which upheld the election of Adeleke as the state governor.
The apex court held that the appellant failed to adduce enough evidence to prove his allegation of over voting in the July 16, 2022 governorship poll.
The judgment is affirmed and adopted by the entire five members of the panel.
According to all the members of the panel the appeal lacks merit.
