The Supreme Court in Abuja has declared Governor Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the July 16 governorship election in Osun State.
Delivering judgment on Tuesday, a five-member panel of the apex court held that the court of appeal correctly reinstated Adeleke as governor.
The panel was led by Justice John Inyang Okoro. He held that Oyetola and the APC failed to prove allegations of non-accreditation of voters in 744 polling units with the BVAS and resulting in over-voting.
According to the panel, the failure of the election tribunal in Osun to consider the preliminary objections raised by Adeleke and the PDP at the trial level amounted to detail of fair hearing and rendered the entire proceeding a nullity.
