Senator Adeleke is still Osun state Governor…wins at supreme court.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside the appeal by Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenging the election of Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Osun State Governor.

The apex court, in its judgment read by Justice Emmanuel Agim, also upheld the Appeal Court’s judgment which upheld the election of Adeleke as the state governor.

The apex court held that the appellant failed to adduce enough evidence to prove his allegation of over voting in the July 16, 2022 governorship poll.

The judgment is affirmed and adopted by the entire five members of the panel.

According to all the members of the panel the appeal lacks merit.
Meanwhile there was wide jubilation in Osun state after the supreme declaration

Interestingly Osun State is said to be the state of origin of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the contending defeated Governor Oyetola is also said to be a cousin to him.

In 2018 same Senator Adeleke won convincingly the gubernatorial election which INEC later declared as inconclusive. A bye election that was subsequently conducted saw APC Oyetola. The election was characterized by vote buying, rigging, intimidation, harassments and electoral manipulations.

Governor Adeleke popularly known as dancing Senator has once proven that he is popular and loved by his people.

The onus is now on the governor who Nick name is Jackson to perform well to earn and reciprocate the love of Osun people on him.
