Appeal Court reserves judgment on Osun gov’ship election appeal

The Court of Appeal Court has reserved judgement in the appeal by the incumbent Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke which challenges the state’s governorship election.

After receiving arguments from both lawyers of the Governor, Adeleke and lawyers of the former Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, the panel on Monday, March 13, 2023 reserved judgment in the appeal.

The Informant247 recalls that the incumbent Governor on February 9, 2023 appealed the judgment of the Osun State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.

The judgement of the tribunal favoured the immediate past Governor of the state, Oyetola, as tribunal nullified the election.

2 out of the 3 member panel of the tribunal maintained that the former Governor proved beyond a reasonable doubt that there was overvoting in some of the polling units.
