Court Of Appeal Declares Ademola Adeleke As Winner Of Osun Guber Election

March 24, 2023

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has declared Senator Ademola Adeleke as the winner of Osun State July 16 election.

Senator Ademola Adeleke of the PDP was returned elected by the Independent National Electoral Commission, but the APC candidate at the poll, Adegboyega Oyetola, had challenged the victory before Justice Tertsea Kume-led Tribunal panel, which in a majority judgement delivered on January 27, annulled Adeleke’s victory and declared Oyetola the winner of the poll.

However, a minority judgement by Justice B. Ogbuli dismissed Oyetola’s petition and declared Adeleke the duly elected governor, having scored majority of lawful votes.

But after hearing appeal by the INEC, Adeleke and PDP against the tribunal judgement, the Appeal Court in a unanimous judgment, set aside the ruling of the lower Court and declared Adeleke the Governor of Osun State.

The appellate court in a ruling on Friday.
