All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Osun State had expressed hope for victory as the Supreme Court today determines the authentic winner of the July 16, 2022 governorship election in the state.
The PDP candidate, Ademola Adeleke, was announced winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC but the APC candidate at the poll, Adegboyega Oyetola, rejected the result and approached the Election Petition Tribunal to challenge it.
In its January 27, 2023 majority verdict, the Justice Tertse Kume-led tribunal annulled Adeleke’s victory and declared Oyetola the winner of the poll.
However, a minority judgment by Justice B. Ogbuli affirmed Adeleke as the winner of the poll.
Displeased, Adeleke and the PDP headed for the Court of Appeal, which on March 24 nullified the tribunal judgment and returned Adeleke as winner.
Oyetola and the PDP, who were disastified with the judgment, then headed for the Supreme Court, which held the matter on Monday and fixed judgment for today
