Oyetola, on the other hand, had petitioned the election petition tribunal in August to contest Adeleke’s victory, claiming that there was over-voting in 749 polling units across 10 LGAs in the state.NYSC portal
The Tribunal, in its decision on Friday, ordered INEC to revoke Adeleke’s certificate of return and award it to Oyetola, whom it stated had won the poll.
Reacting in a statement presented by his spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke described the judgement as a “miscarriage of justice and an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters.”
“I call on our people to remain calm. We will appeal the judgement and we are sure justice will be done,” he added.
“Let our people be reassured that we will do everything possible to retain this widely acclaimed mandate”, the statement added.JAMB Result
