May 08, (THEWILL) – The Supreme Court has fixed Tuesday, May 9, for judgement in the appeal filed by former Osun Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, against the election of Ademola Adeleke.
In his appeal, Oyetola is seeking the reversal of the March 25 judgement of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which affirmed Adeleke’s victory in the last governorship election in Osun State.
The Appeal Court had, in its judgement, set aside an earlier judgement by the Osun Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which declared Oyetola as winner of the July 16 gubernatorial election in Osun State.
A five-member panel of the Supreme Court announced the date after taking arguments from lawyers to parties on Monday.
