Court Of Appeal Affirms Fayemi’s Election Victory

The Court of Appeal has upheld the victory of Kayode Fayemi as Governor of Ekiti State.

A three-man panel of justices held on Thursday evening that the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Kolapo Eleka lacked merit, and resolved all the issues raised in favour of the respondents. 

The Court of Appeal upheld the reasoning and conclusions reached by Ekiti State Governorship Election Tribunal, which two months ago, dismissed the petition of the PDP and declared Governor Fayemi as validly elected.
