Penpushing reports that, it is recalled that the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has sacked the Governor from office, barely two months on assumption of office, and directed that certificate of return earlier issued to him by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should be withdrawn.
The panel headed by Justice Terste Kume annulled the election of Adeleke who was the Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and declared Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the poll
Penpushing further reports that the tribunal equally directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Adeleke and his Deputy, Kola Adewusi, both of whom had been sworn in, and should instead be issued to Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The panel held that the governorship election was not held in compliance with Nigeria’s Electoral Act, and was characterized by over-voting, noting that after deducting the excessive votes, the figure Oyetola polled at the election was 314, 921, and therefore ordered that Oyetola should be returned as Governor of Osun State.
Meanwhile, the controversial Governor, has thereafter the judgement which ordered his removal from office headed to the appeal court to contest the judgment, said not to be in his favour, and equally found it as uncalled for.
