The Supreme Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, affirmed the election of Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the Governor of Osun State.
The judgement followed an earlier decision by a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal led by Mohammed Shuaibu, which affirmed his victory and nullified the judgement of the election petition tribunal.
The election petition tribunal had in January this year nullified the governor’s victory.
Adegboyega Oyetola, the immediate-past governor of the state, had filed a petition challenging Adeleke’s victory.
