The Supreme Court on Friday declared Osun Governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the September 22 governorship election held in the state.
In a lead judgement of five justices with two dissenting, the appeal by the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke was dismissed as the verdict also nullified the judgment of the elections petition tribunal which had declared him as the winner of the contest.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier declared Oyetola winner of the Osun governorship election after a controversial rerun in September 2018.
