The Supreme Court of Nigeria has affirmed Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the elected governor of Osun state.
Justice Emmanuel Agim, who read the judgement on Tuesday affirmed the ruling of the Appeal Court that had upheld the electoral victory of Ademola Adeleke.
The five-member panel of the apex court held that the court of appeal correctly reinstated Adeleke as governor.
The APC had approached the apex court in a suit numbered, SC/CV/510/2023, praying the court to set aside the decision of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, which voided the judgment of the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal, which returned Oyetola as winner of the November July 16, 2022 governorship election.
