Senator Ademola Adeleke has been affirmed as the duly elected governor of Osun State by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, on Friday.
The appellate court vacated the judgment of the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal, which declared former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola as the duly elected governor of the state.
The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, held that the appeal Adeleke lodged to challenge his sack by the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, was meritorious.
Aside from setting aside the judgement of the tribunal, the court, in its lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Mohammed Lawal, awarded N500, 000 cost against the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its candidate, Gboyega Oyetola
