Oyetola was defeated by the Governor-Elect, Sen Ademola Adeleke, who polled 403,371 against the governor's 375,027 votes.

Court on his litigation against the primary election that produced Adeleke as the candidate of the party.

Babayemi is seeking an order of the court to nullify the primary that produce Adeleke and declare the factional primary that produced him as valid to make him the real governorship candidate of the party. The Appeal Court had last Thursday dismissed.

Babayemi's case, a situation that brought relief to the party.

Between Friday and Tuesday, there were reports from the PDP camp that Oyetola had approached Babayemi and encouraged him to appeal the judgment at Supreme Court.

Oyetola's motive, according to the PDP loyalists, was to get the Supreme Court to nullify both PDP's primaries held on March 29, this year and by that, he would be the beneficiary of the judgment being the second winner in the governorship election.

According to Adekunle, Babayemi was expected to stop further legal action if truly he is a genuine member of the party after Adeleke's victory.
