The Supreme Court, on Thursday,
affirmed the Governor-elect of Osun state, Senator Ademola Adeleke as the
authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the gubernatorial
election that held in the state on July 16.
The apex court, in a unanimous
judgement by a five-man panel of justices, dismisses an appeal that was lodged
against Adeleke by Prince Dotun Babayemi who laid claim to governorship ticket
of the PDP, having emerged from a parallel primary election that was held by a
faction of the party in the state.
Counsel to the Appellant, Mr.
Adebayo Adelodun, SAN, withdrew the appeal after the panel led by Justice Amina
Augie, drew his attention to the fact that the case was statute barred.
The panel had maintained that the
appeal was incompetent, stressing that it was filed outside the 14 days period
provided by the law.
