Wild jubilation as Supreme Court affirms Adeleke Osun Governor

There was wild jubilation after the Supreme Court upheld Ademola Adeleke as the Governor of Osun State.

Recall that former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola challenged the validity of Adeleke as governor after the Independent National Electoral Commission had declared that latter in June 2022 elections.

Adeleke who contested the polls on the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party polled 403,371 votes, to defeat then-incumbent governor Adegboyega Oyetola, of the All Progressives Congress, who got 375,027 votes.

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.
