The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has upheld the election of Governor Ademola Adeleke as governor of Osun State.
A three-member panel of justices presided by Justice Mohammed Lawal Shuaibu on Friday held that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate and former governor, Gboyega Oyetola failed to prove allegations of over-voting against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Daily Trust reports that the appealate court gave the judgement in a unanimous verdict on Friday.
According to the ruling, court also awarded the sum of N500, 000 cost against the APC and its candidate.
The panel, however, dismissed Adeleke’s contention that the comments by the chairman of the governorship election petitions tribunal saying about “go low low, Buga won” did not amount to bias.
