Breaking News! Governor Ademola Adeleke Of Osun State, Election Nullified!

Governor Ademola Adeleke, the duly elected governor of Osun state has been sacked.

The Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo has sacked the governor. It declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, should withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Adeleke and issued same to former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

The tribunal in a split document of two to one gave this decision.

Delivering its judgement on Friday, the tribunal held that the governorship election was characterized by over-voting, adding that after deducting the excessive votes, Oyetola’s figures rose to 314, 921, while Adeleke’s came down to 290, 266.

The tribunal led by Justice Terste Kume, therefore, instructed INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Adeleke and his deputy, Kola Adewusi. It directed that the certificate of return be issued to Oyetola instead.
