The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Thursday reversed the judgement of the election petition tribunal in Osun State which declared People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr. Ademola Adeleke winner of the gubernatorial poll in the state.

In split judgements, four of the five-member Appeal Court set aside the judgement of the tribunal of March 22, which declared Mr Adeleke winner of the election.

The lead judgement was delivered by Jummai Sankey, while the dissenting judgement was delivered by Justice Mbaba.

Thursday’s judgement was after the appeal filed by the governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, challenging the declaration of Adeleke as the duly elected governor by the state election petition tribunal.
