Breaking:Court of Appeal Reaffirms PDP ,Ademola Adeleke As Winner of Osun Governorship Election|Eagle’s Sight News
The reports reaching Eagle’s Sight News reveals that the Court of Appeal has reaffirmed Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the Osun Gubernatorial Election held last year.
Delivering judgment in the appeal filed by Adeleke on Friday, a three-member panel of justices held that the election tribunal erred when it ruled that the 1st and 2nd respondents (Gboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress) proved their allegation of over-voting.
According to Cable, the panel of judges which issued its verdict on Friday, Adeleke is the duly elected governor of the state.
The Osun governorship election tribunal, in January, held that Oyetola was able to prove that there was over-voting in some of the polling units.
Consequently, the majority judgment of the tribunal ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Adeleke and issue a fresh one to Oyetola as the duly elected governor of Osun.
Dissatisfied with the ruling, Adeleke appealed the judgment at the court of appeal.
