Osun: Oyetola asks Appeal Court to quash Adeleke, PDP’s victory at tribunal

Image
The Governor of Osun State, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, has appealed against the judgment of the election petition tribunal, which invalidated his victory in the September 2018 governorship election that brought him to power. Unsatisfied with the tribunal’s verdict, Oyetola has filed a notice of appeal, listing 39 grounds why the tribunal’s decision should not stand. In the notice of appeal, which he filed on March 26, 2019, Oyetola urged the Court of Appeal to nullify the majority judgment which he argued was perverse, replete with contradictions and not supported by the evidence led by the petitioners. The governor, through his lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), urged the appellate court to not only set aside the tribunal’s majority judgment but to also dismiss the October 16, 2018 petition by the PDP and Adeleke. He, however, urged the appellate court to uphold the aspects of the majority judgment where the tribunal held that it lacked jurisdiction to set aside INEC
