Supreme Court delivers judgement on Osun Governorship election Today, 9th May 2023

 Published by Samuel Toba-Olumide

Former Governor Oyetola and Current Governor Ademola Adeleke

The Supreme Court will give its verdict on the appeal brought before it by the erstwhile governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola, and his party, the All Progressives Congress. Today, Tuesday 9th of May, 2023. The court is expected to seat by 2:00pm.

Oyetola and the APC had challenged the judgement of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which affirmed Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party as the elected governor of Osun State.

In 2022, the Independent National Electoral Commission returned Senator Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the election.

The Supreme Court on Monday scheduled the date and time to lay to rest the legal tussle over the governorship seat of Osun State after parties in the appeal adopted their written address and oral submissions in the matter.

Both Oyeleke and the APC pray that the apex court set aside the verdict of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal.

The judgement also voided the judgement of the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal, which returned Oyetola as the winner of the November July 16, 2022 governorship election.
