The Appeal Court in Abuja has set aside the decision of the Osun State Gubernatorial Election Petition Tribunal.
The Court upheld the election of Ademola Adeleke as the governor of Osun State.
Following the governorship polls in the state, an Election Petition Tribunal had sacked Adeleke from office, saying that the Senator did not score the majority of lawful votes during the July 16 governorship polls.
However, in a unanimous agreement by a three man panel led by justice Mohammed Shuaibu, the Court of Appeal quashed the tribunal’s judgement and gave its verdict to uphold Adeleke as rightful governor of Osun State.
