On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Nigeria declared Ademola Adeleke as the Governor of Osun State.

The verdict came after the Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party as the winner of the governorship election, with 403,371 votes, defeating incumbent governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, who got 375,027 votes.

However, Oyetola and the APC rejected the result and challenged it at the tribunal.

The tribunal, led by Justice Tertse Kume, annulled Adeleke’s victory and declared Oyetola as the winner of the poll in January 2023.
