The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside the appeal by Mr Adegboyega Oyetola challenging the election of Senator Ademola Adeleke as Osun State Governor.
The Court, 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.
Also, earlier today, a Federal High Court in Osogbo dismissed a lawsuit seeking the disqualification of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Osun governorship election slated for July 16 2022.
This was made in a ruling made by Justice Nathaniel Emmanuel on Tuesday in a suit filed by Prince Dotun Babayemi, declaring the primary election that produced Babayemi, which was held at WOCDIF event centre, Osogbo on March 8th 2022 as illegal.
The verdict was delivered under strict security and lasted one hour and 45 minutes.
Senator Ademola Adeleke was declared the validly elected PDP candidate for the election by Justice Emmanuel.
