The Supreme Court, has on Thursday confirmed Senator Ademola Adeleke the authentic Candidate of People’s Democratic party (PDP), for the gubernatorial election that held in the Osun State on July 16 this year.
A five-man panel of justices, of the apex court in the land, in a unanimous judgement dismissed an appeal that was lodged against the Osun State Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke by Prince Dotun Babayemi who laid claim to governorship ticket of the PDP, having emerged from a parallel primary election that was held by a faction of the party in the state.
Mr. Adebayo Adelodun, SAN, Counsel to the Appellant withdrew the appeal after the panel led by Justice Amina Augie, drew his attention to the fact that the case was statute barred.
It was maintained by the panel that the appeal was filed outside the 14 days period provided by the law says the Appeal is incompetent.
