Osun Governor Elect, Adeleke Wins Suit Seeking To Remove Him As Appeal Court Rules In His Favour

 

A suit seeking to remove Osun governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke has been dismissed.

 

This comes after a high court judgement which affirmed Osun State Governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke, as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for last Saturday’s governorship election, was upheld by a Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital. 

 

PDP Chieftain, Dotun Babayemi had approached the appellate court after losing a lawsuit in which he challenged the validity of the primary conducted by the national leadership of the party. 

 

Babayemi who was a factional candidate of the party, asked to be declared the substantive candidate of the PDP. 

 

The Appeal court however ruled in favour of Adeleke in a judgement delivered on Wednesday July 20.
