Supreme Court Affirms Adeleke As PDP Candidate

The Supreme Court has dismissed the suit challenging the authenticity of Ademola Adeleke’s candidacy in the just concluded Osun State Governorship Election.

The suit was instituted by Dotun Babayemi, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State.

In a judgement delivered by Justice Amina Augie, the five-member panel held that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the suit after counsel for the appellant, Adebayo Adelodun, withdrew the earlier notice of appeal that was filed within time.
