Breaking: Supreme Court upholds Gboyega Oyetola as Osun's Governor

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has today announced Gboyega Oyetola the winner of the Osun State governorship election.

In a hearing notice issued on Wednesday, the court said it would hear the appeal filed by the Governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola, against candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, by 9a.m.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the September 2018 election.

In March, a three-man panel of the election tribunal led by Justice Ibrahim Sirajol held that Oyetola was not validly returned as the winner of the election and subsequently declared Adeleke winner.
