The Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo, the state capital, had earlier nullified the election that produced Adeleke on the ground of over-voting.NYSC Portal
Following the verdict of the Tribunal that ruled in favour of Oyetola by holding that he proved the allegation of over-voting in some of the polling units, Adeleke had appealed the judgement which nullified his election, by filing 31 grounds of appeal, praying the court for “an order setting aside the whole decision of the tribunal.”
In one of the grounds of the appeal, Adeleke contended that “by referring to the appellant’s personal eccentricity for dancing, the lower tribunal derided and mocked him in a manner suggesting that it was biased against him.”
A three-member panel of justices headed by Justice Mohammed Lawal Shuaibu on March 14, reserved the appeal for judgement and fixed March 24 for its ruling after the arguments of both Governor Adeleke’s lawyers and those of Oyetola.JAMB Result
