The court of appeal sitting in Abuja has reinstated Ademola
Adeleke as the governor of Osun state.
Delivering judgment in the appeal filed by Adeleke on
Friday, a three-member panel of justices held that the election tribunal erred
when it ruled that the 1st and 2nd respondents (Gboyega Oyetola and the All
Progressives Congress) proved their allegation of over-voting.
According to the panel of judges which issued its verdict on
Friday, Adeleke is the duly elected governor of the state.
The Osun governorship election tribunal, in January, held
that Oyetola was able to prove that there was over-voting in some of the
polling units.
Consequently, the majority judgment of the tribunal ordered
INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Adeleke and issue a fresh
one to Oyetola as the duly elected governor of Osun.
Dissatisfied with the ruling, Adeleke appealed the judgment
at the court of appeal.
