SENATOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE DECLARED AUTHENTIC WINNER BY THE SUPREME COURT
Senator Ademola Adeleke is declared the Authentic PDP Candidate for Osun Governorship Elections by the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Governor-elect of Osun State, was the genuine candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state's gubernatorial election on July 16.
The Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision by a five-member panel of justices, dismisses an appeal lodged against Adeleke by Prince Dotun Babayemi, who claimed the PDP governorship ticket after emerging from a parallel primary election held by a faction of the party in the state.
Mr. Adebayo Adelodun, SAN, counsel for the appellant, withdrew the appeal after the panel led by Justice Amina Augie pointed out that the case was statute barred.
The panel had maintained that the appeal was incompetent, citing the fact that it was filed after the law's 14-day deadline.
