Tribunal Sacks Adeleke, Declares Gboyega Oyetola winner of Osun election

Ademola Adeleke has been removed as governor of Osun State by the constitutionally elected Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Osogbo.

By a vote of two to one, the tribunal ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, should revoke Adeleke’s Certificate of Return and instead issue it to former governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

The Chairman, Justice Tertse Kume, read the majority decision, which said that Oyetola received the majority of the legal votes—314,931—against Adeleke’s 219,666.
